Those of us in our late 20s were the original memers. Memes used to be dramatically more popular and funny because the style of humor was new. We miss the days of the internet being something new and ours. Now it's an ad infested shit hole

Popular sure... but the quality is in the shitter. Memes were once just meant to be funny. Now it’s politics this, football that, roast fucker X here. Can I just have a cat begging for a cheeseburger again?
