minus-squareRokin@leminal.spacelinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 month agoGood point. Technically it is, it’s just not funny.
minus-squarePhoenixDog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 month agoMemes don’t always need to be funny.
minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 month agoStill though, is this even a meme at all?
minus-squareEarthwormjim91@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 month ago Meme: an idea, behavior, style, or piece of media that spreads from person to person within a culture, often via imitation or rapid online sharing. Yeah I think this would count.

minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 month agoI personally think that definition is too broad, as a person who grew up with the memes taking form, and the internet taking shape.
minus-squareEarthwormjim91@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoThe term was first defined in the 70s. Memes are not a new thing that took form with the internet, nor are they limited to the internet at all.
minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoRight, I just think that an online community such as this, with “memes” in its name, carries a certain connotation and expectaton. My two cents. 🤷♂️
minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·1 month agoI don’t see how this is a meme. It shares the similarity of being an image posted to the internet, but I don’t know if that qualifies. 😅

Meme: an idea, behavior, style, or piece of media that spreads from person to person within a culture, often via imitation or rapid online sharing. Memes existed long before the internet, and long before people butchered the term to just mean “hurt durr funny internet picture”.
minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoI understand all that, I just don’t see how this qualifies, still. It’s just a great rebuttal, that’s all. What’s the “cultural idea” here? Care to explain?
