How Memes Have Changed

Memes used to be simple, and goofy, there were rules and we followed them. Now it's a wasteland... and I love it.

2012: the world is gonna end


2019:why are we still here

[BMB]

2012: Has a pet rock. It runs away.


2019: *_D I E T W A T E R_*

[GaryMcSnail]

This was a cultural realization. And the fact that I actively looked for this three years later says even more

[noesunyoutuber]

The absolute mania in his voice during "Me and the boys at 2 AM lookin' for _B E A N S"_ is really what brings it home.

[RedRiotRoss]

I dont understand my own humor anymore help

[extrathiccboi]

2012: I would kill you if I didn’t have my coffee

2019: I dOnT nEeD sLeEp, I nEeD
*B E A N S*

[ayman-ulkarim]

memes now:
*metal pipe falling sound effect*

[GhostStealth]

2039 memes will just be people staring at each other, and that’s the punchline.

[just-a-silly-goofy-guy]

Yeah that really do be us at 2am lookin for them beans

[MunchlaxMakara]

The fact that this never fails to slay me is a testament to how broken my humor is

[unicornjogger]

Circletoons encapsulated memes for over a decade now with just two memes

2012: sneaky salamander
2020: D O N O T Q U E S T I O N T H E E L E V A T E D O N E

[JaredCaprio]

2069: memes will just be two or three pixels and bass distortion

[bluelfsuma]

Something amazing I learned from modern memes was that humor is based on the unexpected. And that whoever said it's based on tragedy should've been a tomato target.

[fbi]

I’m disappointed that the 2019 meme made me laugh

[carlcjjohnson]

2012: Ask for coke, waiter ask if Pepsi is ok
2019: Microwave be like

[wicketrin]

To be fair you absolutely called it on how to make a fresh meme.

[DevonLadd]

The meme is 2019, but the external recording and bass boost make it timeless

[Thyga.]

2012: What if I told you, Grumpy Cat, Success Kid, Crazy Girlfriend
2019: *Water? Oh, you mean the O C E A N S A U C E*

[silentflamemc]

2012: Good Guy Greg, Rage Comics, Epic Baby, Grumpy Cat


2019: W E E D E A T E R
