Are memes the next evolution of the English Language, like are we transferring to a substantial step like from Old to Middle English? Will people someday communicate entirely in memes and it be unintelligible to people who were not alive when the meme was created?

Imagine court cases argued in memes, for example the Scopes Monkey Trial:
>implying God exists
>*tips fedora*
>>OBJECTION! Cancer
>he's using le hat maymay as an argument *shows laughinggirls.jpg*

>>8018148

Imagine poems written in memes

It was a kekkedy kek night
and I was like a reaction gif
when a gentleman helped a lady
walking across the street.
I just come across him
and they giggled
"here come dat boi!
o shit waddup".
Then I understood,
he was just a based fedora
rolling into the deep
of his enlightenment.

there's already one produced short live-action screenplay with dialogue written entirely in Meme English:
