    Like ALL of them?

    There are some i don’t think are funny, there are some that are just stupid, and there are some that I just don’t understand.

    So, I’m not a fan of any of those, but to hate ALL memes seems like it’s based on an unjust bias in your brain.

    Like if someone went to YouTube for the first time and watched a couple of those immature “bro, it’s just a prank!” channels and decided that they hated all internet video creators.

      I’m of the opinion that everything that gets passed off as a meme isn’t necessarily a meme. Sometimes they’re just funny pictures. (Actual humor content may vary)

      Memes should have something to do with a commonly understood phrase or thought in the culture and highlight those.

      Of course, with enough push those funny pictures can become memes but ideally they would start as a meme and then have comedy added to them.

        Ahh yes this would be a meta meme. Where the meme is only a meme because its self referencing.
