Remember back when we called memes "pop culture references" and "running jokes"?
Remember when the definition of trolling was more specific than just "making people mad on the Internet"?

God I fucking hate the twitter trend of just calling people you don't like 'trolls', it's like that period where tumblr completely misinterpreted the use of 'feels'
>>378230
Now you know what cultural appropriation feels like
>>378232
Yes I do, and it's the one tumblr ideology I can get behind, societies are better off fucking segregated, especially on the internet. (/edge)
>>378150
no?
the word "meme" is older than 4chan, retard
>>378242
What makes you think 'we' meant '4chan', Anon?
i still call them image macros. come at me.
>>378230
how exactly did they misinterpret it?
>>378219
don't worry, it's called "bait" now.
>>378276
This infuriates me. When people say "hey guys, check out this meme I made"

I guess there are four epochs of -trolling-
1. Trolling (defend a faulty viewpoint or bring upon poorly interpreted information to incite flame wars)
2. "Trolling" (haha u mad bro?)
3. "Ruse Manning" (haha you got caught in my scheme)
4. "Baiting" (haha you got caught in my bait)
Am i correct?

Trolling is all of those things though. It's baiting, being an epic ruseman, and "trollling" all wrapped up into one obnoxious package. But hey, trolling is good as long as it snaps someone out of their mindless complacency.
Meme is far too bloated of a word. It basically just means "Thing" except with respect to things you think about.
Patriotism is a meme.
This sentence is a meme.
Millhouse is not a meme is a meme.
We really should split them back up in our mind, in the same sense that "thing" and "stuff" are words your English teacher will get grumpy at you for using, we need to get grumpy at people for saying "meme."
Image Macro, Running Joke, Pop Culture Reference, Letmotif, Tropes, Ragefaces, Advice Animals, DeviantartCharts, Slang Words, Jingles, Slogans, and FADS are all better words for memes than "meme".
Using the word "meme" should mean that your vocabulary is limited unless you are actually talking about the higher order of the relationship between facets of memetics.
I don't remember anything anymore

The internet is destroying our ability to remember things. Look it up.

>I wonder how easy it would be to spread a meme that "memes" are dumb and see if it causes people to just go back to calling them jokes.
It's impossible, that was literally what we were trying to do on [s4s] and instead the memers took over and made it into literal memes
shit is absurd
A meme is any image with black outlined white impact text at the top and bottom. Prove me wrong.
>>378600
Images with black outlined white impact font text are indeed memes. So is the word 'cabbage'.
Images with black outlined white impact font text are also called "image macros" and very few other things are called an image macro, so that's a much better thing to call them.

It became really annoying on /v/ because you can completely dismiss a games quality once you spot a pop culture reference, of course only applies for the modern games that are 100% shit unlike my childhood full of wonders and excellent writing.
