I don’t like it when I encounter them in the source material, like the council scene in Fellowship “One does not simply ______”. It creates a sort of dissonance that takes me out of what I’m watching. They’re sort of like malware for the brain from that perspective.
No. I don’t care for them either. They’re lazy attempts at humor. Some are mildly amusing, but mostly they’re shit. What’s disturbing is that they’ve become a form of communication, and the grammar and syntax of kids are showing that. Memes are making them dumb.
People were snipping out pieces of newspaper and sending them to eachother in the post as jokes, as soon as newspapers became a thing. People used to have silly paintings commissioned to send to eachother too.
Memes are the DNA of the soul, friend.
No.
That is literally what it is though. The name meme was chosen because it’s supposed to be the cultural equivalent of a gene.
It’s literally graffiti. It’s lazy, and it’s lowbrow. I don’t care if you don’t like that.
Idk, I feel like complaining about culture instead of creating your own is lazy. But what do I know.
Whatever that means.
Back to the main subject, I’ll take the opinion of an actual psychologist over teenage randos.

It means, why don’t you make something you enjoy, instead of complaining about something you don’t enjoy?
People complained about books and newspapers when they were the new thing. I think we can all agree they didn’t make the world a worse place. Besides, the “hot thought” of a single psychologist does not make science. There are climate change deniers among climate scientists as well. (eg. Richard Lindzen)
Assuming everyone on here is a teen says a lot about you as well.
No. Most memes just make me feel tired all over.
Well, maybe not the ONLY one, but an extreme minority probably.
Are you like old? “Kids and their new fangled me me’s. Back in MY day we used the funnies in the NEWSPAPER to get a laugh” Kinda old?
Yes.
Really depends what you mean by “memes”.
In general.
So, like, any self-propogating idea, you don’t like it?
Congrats on your unique brain architecture, I guess. When the rest of us are destroyed by parasitic thought-worms, you’ll be there to continue the human race…
To many of us, that sounds like “I don’t like humor”. I really don’t get you.
What do you consider to be memes? Just images/image macros? Gifs? Videos? Copy pastas? Do you dislike all of these, or just some?
Generically, I’d say memes are essentially just widespread “internet culture” inside jokes. Disliking humor or inside jokes is definitely not the norm.
Yes. Something’s wrong with you
