Actually, the first meme yet to be found was published by The Wisconsin Octopus magazine back in the 1919-1920. Also, the reason why the term “genetically” was mentioned in the definition is because , and as argued by Richard Dawkins (1976) in his book the Selfish Gene, memes and genes are similar in the ability to replicate, but different in other aspects. One last thing, Dawkins was the first one to create and use the term MEME.

MEME REVIEW

[@yebo1457]

imo memes were originally used for a quick laugh/quick understanding between communities, generally where only people in said community would understand- so with that in mind, memes themselves have died since they're so oversaturated now. e.g. memes making fun of normies is ironic

[@byXxRavenxX]

You have an anime profile picture, so your opinion doesn't matter.

I think a commonality that almost all really funny comedians have is that you all are actually very intelligent. You created an 8 minute video talking the history of one of the most iconic things on the internet, and you did it in a funny way which is very hard to do. I'm just saying that I respect you and your craft, if you ever want to try out a new animation style feel free to contact me :) Although my animations are very different from yours. Keep it up mate

Woah woah woah.. You forgot the "I can haz Cheezburger" Cats. They were a huuuge influence on memes. Those predated the Advice animals by years. They were one of the biggest original memes back in the day when flash video and chain emails were dying off. And you forgot Demotivational Posters too. That were memeing the stupid inspiration posters we had up in our schools in the early 2000s.

[@emptysoul8462]

At this point memes are a literally integral part of my life, seeing as ever since I’ve been around I have used them on a daily basis. Memes are arguably a better representation of gen Z culture than anything else. Music and art are becoming memes, shows and games are becoming memes. It’s so unique, because gen Z is the first generation to grow up in the meme era. It’s amazing.
