Why has "meme" gone from big inside joke to something you dislike?
>he fell for the meme meme
>>
Disliking even the concept of memes is the new insider hot meme.

>he fell for "something you dislike is a meme" meme

>>51876051
explaining the meme is a meme
>>
>>51878100
Heh nice meme
>>
>>51876008
because meme means something popular that spreads through people (Richard Dawkins).

since everyone here is a beta faggot that hates a normal way of life like a normie, they hate things that are popular.
>>
>>51878137
>beta
>normie
Nice try on hiding your power-level
>>
Because meme has become a meme you dumb fuck.
>>
>>51876008
Because the word is so overused and misused, it has little to no meaning.
>>
>>51878330
This. Everyday I'm surrounded by people who ask me if I've seen the latest "meme" on Facebook which is just a captioned image of somebody's pet doing something stupid.
>>
>>51878137

Aka, hipster.

Memes aren't memes when everyone gets the joke, has access to it, and there are uncountable variations of it all over the place. A meme has to be something people can't just find out easily, but is easily recognized by those who are in on it.
Because of this, nothing on 4chan in its current era can be a meme.

>he's never been made aware of the concept of referring to something you dislike as "a joke"

Let me give you some examples.
>Donald Trump is a joke candidate
>AMD's "competitive" CPU releases are a joke
>Healthcare in the US is a joke
>It's a joke to suggest that all races are equal

Now replace the word "joke" with "meme". Each statement carries the same meaning.

Topjoke
>you can also replace joke with meme here

Let me tell you as a certified meme expert and historian that 4chan's memes are really, very, not impressive. 4chan is a loser at memes. No imagination. Even reddit has this place beat... Let me tell you why. Its all politically charged now. Its "Its the current year!" and "He didn't do nuffin" nowadays. This isn't fun. I thought the internet wasn't supposed to be srs bizzniss? Basically, don't come to 4chan for memes. You'll be severely disappointed and on the verge of tears, like my date last night...

That's the joke
10 years ago you went to 4chan for teh funny memes and ridiculous shit. Today you have to go here to evade the "memes" (aka shit macros) everywhere.

Memes are fads that won't last. Everyone jumps from one bandwagon to another while real good things remain good and popular long after their immediate success is over.
>>
>>51876008
Replace meme with fad.
>>
>>51885147

I remember when memes were called fads

The internet was fun, then.
>>
>>51885147
Aren't fads inherently things that wont last?
