>>Today under reddit chan, the memes aren't contextual, they are the culture itself. It's why you see a newfag defend cancer like pepe and wojack as 'chan culture'
And because the concept of a forced meme was lost and newfags just regurgitate what they see thinking they need to, to fit in. It creates even more cancer. Take the boomer forced meme. In golden age 4chan this would have been called out and mocked relentlessly. In reddit chan people started using it themselves and making content around it.
And it's only getting worse since as long as you force something long enough, newfags will start posting it as well.
I believe I can interpret this as memes are only good if they are either made, remolded, or accepted by a community. There's something special about being a contributing, banding together, having a strong group, deciding whether a meme is accepted. When a meme goes through this process, Its entirely flexible and contextual. It isn't soulless and isn't something you spam which gives weight to a meme and hence its considered funny. Its not just that feeling of belonging, but also standards. In order to keep content fresh, you have to gatekeep in order to not dilute the content being posted.
See example of this forced boomer meme.
But too bad normlafags hate being seen as being inferior so rather than being humble and lurking in order to learn about the community, they pose as "members" of the community, by regurgitating low quality shit, trying to feel elitist. Think of it like lying for the sake of lying because you don't know what the other person is talking about. Normalfags have to realize that there is always going to be someone who lurks more than you. There's always going to be someone who knows more than you. You can be the most obsessed when it comes to a community, but someone will always be more obsessed than you.
SO LURK MORE, REGARDLESS IF YOU ARE A GREYCEL, POSTMAXXER, OR JOIN DATE MOGGER.
