"Memes" are much more than just the modern definition of "those funny pictures the kids like." Memes are more of an idea that passes through a group.

Memetic art and its effects on the early-mid 21st Century will likely be deciphered by historians in the future. It will likely be seen as a form of individual propaganda that people used to court or repel others from a specific ideology.

Bugs.. Take it easy on the carrots..

memes are just a modern, specific word for a timeless phenomenon.

recursive imagery and formats with ever-mutating meanings, contexts and iterations, the meme isn't a social gene but a cultural-linguistic one.

They're already taken seriously by shitheaps who take them out of the internet and use them unironically for socio-political commentary and by shitheaps who take them seriously, sensationalize them, and present them as a political group in mainstream media.

Normies were a mistake.
