dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

First time I saw Skibidi Toilet I didn't have the context of it being popular with kids so I assumed it was just regular shitpost and it made me laugh

I have no idea how people who enjoyed 2016-2020 meme culture reacted so negatively to it

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Possibly because the generation who appreciated that eras meme culture are growing older and are no longer the rebellious youth. Dipping their toes into the boomer pool, so to speak.

Yeah the millenial reaction to Skibidi Toilet is their test for if they will Become Boomer or not.

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago

Oh how the turns are tabling, or some shit. I have become boomer.

skibidi toilet was more like 2005-2010 meme culture imo, it was exactly like all the shitty "idiots of gmod" shitposts, just ramped up to 11. I really didn't get the negative reaction from all the "adults" considering I was laughing at the exact same type of shit when I was 13. I'm in my thirties now

yup, spiritually millennial
funnier than 90% of zoomer memes no offense

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

Pretty much

The people who were laughing at the Doctor Hax stuff in the late 2000's are now saying 'this is too far, sir'
