I dunno if it's a good or bad thing, but memes have kind of died now that they're largely used on social media advertising to sell shit.

Even more cringe is when they're used by politicians lol. Like I kid you not republicans print out their bad memes on display boards and bring them to congress and shit. We truely live in surreal times.

I don’t think they’re dead, but the shelf life between “organic meme” and “meme that corporations and politicians have cringed to death” is shorter than it used to be.

Believe Walmart was selling shirts with wojacks on them at one point and assumed we were cooked.
