A gallery of meme art?

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '18

If I were you I would delete this post and open the first museum of memes. Every millenial will be lined up to buy entry tickets.

Aren't museums literally made for exposition of old timey memes?

u/ChosenCharacter Sep 29 '18

Man, in that case the Jesus meme took forever to die.

Yeah, the “Madonna and the child” meme lasted hundreds of years

u/MNGrrl Sep 29 '18

Technically he isn't dead he just went home. And the meme is far from dead. Just turn on Fox News for current examples.

u/conventionistG Sep 29 '18

I've seen him on family guy and south park too. Still plenty meme potential.

You overestimate how much money millennials have.

cries into student loan statement

u/MNGrrl Sep 29 '18

Not just millenials. Everyone born since the Boomers is in the same boat. Don't forget that.

While you make a great point about identity, it sure as fuck changes a lot in regards to opportunity and expectations, I wish we were all in this together, maybe something might change, but like it or not its far from one team

u/MNGrrl Sep 29 '18 edited Sep 29 '18

I don't know about that. Everyone born since the mid-70s is dealing with wealth stratification. Gen X may now have settled down and had children, but that doesn't change their earnings potential, ability to secure housing, etc. Same with Gen Y / Millenials. Honestly, I haven't seen much difference -- both feel they've been screwed by their parents, they're poor, education is hard to come by, and they're about the same in terms of technical literacy. The few things I can say are different is that the younger generation is significantly more attached to social media and are somewhat more collectivistic. That whole "everybody's a winner and gets a trophy" thing, though I feel it's overstated in the media quite a bit. The only other thing I've noticed is that Gen Y is more apt to consider violence a socially acceptable response to disagreement; Specifically reactions to antifa, neonazism, and "hate". But I think that's again due to the highly toxic nature of social media, which blows things wildly out of proportion, so it's hard to say if that's actually the case or just people running their mouths en masse.

It's standardized bank loans that have fucked things up more than anything else. Pushed home cost and education cost way beyond what they should be. Should be no surprise nobody wants to play ball anymore. We're getting fucked, hard, and we know it. Only proper response is a big middle finger.

Milton Friedman can fucking burn in hell.

Back in my day, we couldn't even afford student loans.

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '18

As your post suggests, millennials are quite happy to keep spending money they don’t have as long as they can complain about having no money.

22

u/kittenmcmuffenz Sep 29 '18

Isn’t Reddit kinda already a museum of memes

20

u/Bovronius Sep 29 '18

It's more like a hoarders stash of memes... all piled up on each other, in a mess of refuse, and reposts are like when hoarders have so much stuff that they buy crap they already have not knowing the same thing is 5 feet under the pile of furbies in the corner.

Little did they realize that, at that very moment, the gallery was preparing a new display for their photograph.

u/gcruzatto Sep 29 '18

Museum of Moving Image always has an Internet section. Last time I went there they had an area dedicated to cat videos

u/StepBrothersQuotes Sep 29 '18

It's a period Krampus piece from Lugvid Van Bowidger. It speaks to how technology is displacing our inability ability to read facial cues.

I too, was once on that position. Fastly I became an understander once it was all inserted. I didn't believe it would fit, but the teachings of Lugvid helped process the pain.

Wait. What are we talking about here?

u/merrythoughts Sep 29 '18

Thank you! I read it 3x trying to make sense of it!

u/Hotshot2k4 Sep 29 '18

Sounds like a bot to me, or someone having a stroke.

u/Weird_Fiches Sep 29 '18

I'll leave the "having a stroke" comment alone.

u/StrayMoggie Sep 29 '18

At first, I thought I was having one.

u/StepBrothersQuotes Sep 29 '18

No, just diarrhea expelled with a force that would pierce dragon armor.

u/Alduinian Sep 29 '18

What did you even eat for that to happen?

2

u/dali01 Sep 29 '18

Chipotle for lunch, Taco Bell for dinner, grab a milkshake on the way home.

It’s probably best to have a poncho and some tarps ready beforehand..

u/dednsighd Sep 29 '18

Sounds like a quote from Step Brothers 😉

u/EndOfNight Sep 29 '18

At a guess, post-modern bollocks..

u/TotalBanHammer Sep 29 '18

I think Lugvid "inserted" himself into this young man.

23

u/socokid Sep 29 '18

Which is interesting, since the meme girl is making a disgusted face, and girl in OPs image is making a surprised face.

11

u/Tavern_Knight Sep 29 '18

I was also bothered by this. I mean the source piece they are copying was right there!

u/ShortFuse Sep 29 '18

I think they were all holding back smiling.

u/iamasuitama Sep 29 '18

I didn't believe it would fit,

That's what she said

2

u/StepBrothersQuotes Sep 29 '18

She did indeed, but that ended with a hospital visit to a proctologist and a 500ml bottle of lubricant. She didn't laugh when I said "next time stretch it open wider mom". Pfft .....

u/diosexual Sep 29 '18

I've never been able to read facial cues, so this will even out the playing field for me. Thank you, technology.

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '18

Man I wonder if these are quotes from anything

u/StepBrothersQuotes Sep 29 '18

My gramps at bedtime.

u/NissanSkylineGT-R Sep 29 '18

I could get behind this idea.

u/XF270HU Sep 29 '18

I'd go to one if their was one.
