This blog post discusses the phenomenon of meme culture and what it means for society today. The word “meme” is typically used in reference to an amusing, interesting or popular photo, video, piece of text or idea that spreads from person to person via social media networks such as Facebook. A good example would be a cat picture with a funny caption written on it (i.e., “I can has cheezburger?”). Memes are also often shared among young people who find humor in them based on experiences they share together online like being bullied at school. But memes have become more than just humorous images – some are now cleverly satirical depictions about our world’s most pressing problems including economic inequality and climate change. They’re often used to convey deeper meanings about the world around us, and in some cases they can even be seen as a form of artistic expression.
It’s no coincidence that memes have been at their most prevalent recently because social media has become so ingrained into our lives over the past decade or so. The idea behind memes is that anything we share on these sites will live forever – it’ll always exist online for others to see at any time. That might seem like an enticing prospect but also means people should be aware of what they post since there are consequences if something goes wrong (i.e., Facebook pages being taken down). But knowing this actually makes them more powerful than ever before: when people know they’re going to stay up somewhere indefinitely, they care more about what’s being shared.
Memes are unedited and can be seen as a form of artistic expression because the person who creates them is using their own skills to create something for others to enjoy, laugh at or share on social media themselves. They may not always get it right but with all memes there’s some sort of underlying message that people find funny – whether it be an inside joke between friends or poking fun at society in general. That means no matter how popular you’re feeling now, chances are someone will come along and make your meme obsolete soon enough by creating one even funnier than before!
If you were wondering if anything would ever replace “hold my beer” then look no further: this is the newest meme that is taking over social media, dominating timelines and making people laugh.

The sad truth about memes is they don’t last forever; eventually somebody makes another more hilarious one which takes over our timelines like wildfire until we forget this once was so clever. This happens to memes all the time; they have a life and then die.
Here are some of our favourites:
That one guy who is always on your Facebook timeline with an exasperated expression for every post you make (we call him ‘Exasperated Face’) – The Leonardo DiCaprio meme that’s been around since 2010, which shows a screengrab from Leo’s film Inception followed by the words “I’ve seen this movie too many times” – And even though it can be considered mean spirited at its worst, there will always be those people who find LOLcats amusing because they provide good laughs in between more serious content. Memes also work as catharsis for getting out intense emotions or frustrations.
The funniest thing about memes is that they’re not only funny to the person who posts them, but also for everyone else who sees it and has a sense of humour. They are often used as a way to make lighthearted jokes or ironic observations on popular culture, and their birth is usually attributed to people’s tendency towards ‘viral’ content. Memes offer an insight into how we feel – sometimes really angry, other times deeply amused by something silly out there in internet land!
Below I have collected some hilarious meme quotes:

‘”It’s just too much work, and I have other priorities now.”‘ – from My Life on Earth: A Biography of Jane Goodall (200), written by Valerie Moolman, as told to Sandra Burton
“Why is it that when you do something good for somebody else it feels so good but when someone does something nice for us we don’t like them any more?” ― Dr Seuss, Oh! The Places You’ll Go! (1990)
“That’s a very good thing.” – from The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger (1951)
“I love dogs so much that I cannot talk about them without crying, because when people love something they can’t stop talking about it” ― Dr Seuss, Oh! The Places You’ll Go! (1990)
When you realize meme: memes are often humorous images or videos of an event happening on the internet and quickly spreading to other social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook, but also in email exchanges or text messages. Memes typically show some kind of amusing concept or idea through either pictures which evoke laughter with readers who understand their meaning, or through video clips which have been edited with an accompanying soundtrack. – “I love dogs so much that I cannot talk about them without crying, because when people love something they can’t stop talking about it” – Dr Seuss, Oh! The Places You’ll Go! (1990) – “He had a lot of pet theories” ― J.D Salinger, Catcher In The Rye (1951). This is referring to Holden Caulfield’s perception of life and the world around him being filled with experiences that are beyond his control or comprehension and therefore he reacts in anger over this feeling like his thoughts haven’t made any sense at all even for himself as well as others who would never understand what
