Probably not.

9/10 memes are just contextual pictures that have no meaning or relevance outside of their respective websites or situations. Pepe is the most universal one now, and it's just turned into a reaction image.

Memes have no intrinsic value, in the sense that you can place a meme anywhere and people will look at it and think its great. Unlike art. 'here come dat boi' is the perfect example of this, and its a pretty mainstream meme. It makes 0 sense and is literally just a picture that is supposed to be amusing. But even now I and I'm sure many others think its fucking stupid and isn't funny.
Imagine in a century, if you showed somebody the picture and they'd ask wtf it means. Your answer would be 'it doesn't mean anything its just funny.'

That makes sense. However there are plenty that are meant to say something, even if they aren't the funniest, at the very least one could see reaction images and percive the emotion of the poster. To go further most things the mainstream calls memes aren't necessarily memes, just captions with pictures. The kind of edgy stuff you see on 4chan like Treyvon flying into a WTC made of skittles and arizona is political in its clear opposition to the nation's current political narrative. The Donald Trump glad pepe image also demonstrates this subversive sentiment, and the tendency of websites like 4chan to favor candidates who upset "normies." I'm rambling now but what I'm trying to say is that you can see a trend in anonymous Internet subculture that is anti-pc, anti-censorship, and strongly in support of individual liberty and expression. Dark humor and NGE are also common themes.

supreme kek, my friend.

I'll think the muslims and the Chinese will look at these as historical clues as to what exactly brought down a once dignified civilisation.
