It's too late now. Normies have brought back Rage Comics.

@Danyul Nutt Why did "normie" become the other N word no one likes? There is nothing more accurate than this word.

@Wapoose google Bandwagon Effect

woops wrong account

@Danyul Nutt yea I don't like the word either, but I agree with this Arcade Jaguar guy, these new rage comic memes are getting pretty annoying.

If you use the term "normie" unironically, you need to get some fucking sunlight and be an actual human for a day.

@Wapoose Normie memes have completely deviated from regular memes now. Although I do like Sonic text to speech memes though. I was one of SuperSonicgamer03's original viewers. Probably one of the most original memes to come out in a while. <b>Perish your marketable plushie or I will send you to Minecraft!</b>

I will cover myself in hot tar if I see another 'cover yourself in oil' joke.


Ah yes, <br>When meme trends came from 4chan.

Ah yes,
When meme trends came from 4chan.


@EmpLemon<br>I think your take on normie vs. outsider culture is extremely interesting, but do you think that it's possible to switch sides on this? A person becoming swallowed by a mainstream culture and becoming a normie without realizing it or a normie delving into a niche community to the point where they find themselves uncomfortable with others that aren't a part of said community?

I know this is old video but I agree with what you’re saying. Reminds me of the truism that by the time fashion trends reach soccer moms (now called Karens in 2021) the trend is over.


I remember never having a problem with him when I was younger but seeing him now it was literally so repetitive and garbage 😭


I like to think that 4chan is like a great meme mine. It’s dirty, dark, and not pretty, but they smelt the best memes from the dankest ore deposits. It’s not for everyone, but they’re the foundation of the meme economy.

i m weeell you need to dig deeper in more obscure boards or underrated like /o/ and /rk9/

Marsel B. I don't know 4chan, but the best memes are from 9gag. 9gag is so cool and edgy.

Arturs Krasnickis omg.
All this time i had a misconception, iam deeply sorry for my stupid assumption as i have anger issues also, might as well delete it.

Iam deeply sorry and i hope you forgive me.

Edit: didnt read all of it because i now already noticed that u said u bashed on the normies

Arturs Krasnickis that's the normiest comment I've ever read

Because 4Chan is the closest thing to “outside meme culture” that normies know of. 4Chan has been normie trash for years now.

William Grike lmao, their content is used up and recycled. Why the fuck is everyone jumping on the "4chan is where the good maymay is at" bandwagon?


Mama Meme is clearly a mean girl who peaked in high school.


Hello, i know im 5 years late to ask this question but I have a quick question and yes, it is related to the video.<br>Is memes still short or have they become longer? Im asking since you released the video 5 years ago and it would make my day. Thanks for taking your time to read this comment and have a amazing day

From my experience, the life expectancy of a meme has lowered dramatically since 2018


Another analogy that could explain why Behind The Meme is bad could be this, say you made a cake, a dang good cake in fact. It's got a decent fanbase that respects the cake. But then someone gives a horribly made tutorial on how to make the cake, and soon everyone who hadn't seen the cake makes  it so badly and now you want to stop doing anything related to the cake.

Wtf is this? a constructive conversation where it should be at least 10 replies saying "The cake is a lie"????

I am dissapointed. I give up the internets. Tomorrow i will get a job and a girl. Thank you for forcing me to do this. I hope you are happy now.

SuperGamelyGamer and you aren't? Your name suggests it.

GAMP: Sicker than your average kigger nilller

SuperGamelyGamer that's the thing. Most good "memers" don't follow the crowd. And no, we don't look at them 24/7, like you normies stereotype. Many of us game, too.

SuperGamelyGamer not all of them, but there were some. granted, they weren't fond of gore or whatever, but they didn't blindly follow trends. Normies think school is completely necessary for intellect. Edison didn't.

Normies also refuse change.

When Aristarchus came up with heliocentrism, he wasn't supported, because blind Faith was trendy at the time.

Granted, only one person I mentioned was an actual inventor, but the point is that outsider isn't necessarily synonymous to "NEET".

SuperGamelyGamer >innovate

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, if us (not so neet) outsiders were inventors, we'd probably have established a colony on Europa by now.

SuperGamelyGamer basically the whole "poor" job workers, the ones you claim are "contributing to society", but they're more like being cogs in a system.

SuperGamelyGamer that's normish for "wageslaving".

From one normie to another, stay a normie and contribute to society unlike these outsiders


Memes have gotten to the point that people don't like seeing a meme more than once, as if they've lost all of their comedic value through one viewing. It's sad.


I wanted to add that the word meme I believe was coined by Dr Richard Feynman to describe infectious ideas<br>Also it’s hard to listen you complain about memes lol 😂

People actually took memes this seriously back then, and cared about "meme culture"...<br>Wtf

People actually took memes this seriously back then, and cared about "meme culture"...
Wtf

@TheNextGeneration Man U didn’t have to end that reply like a pseudo intellect

I mean people talking about meme culture is basically like any entertainment franchise. People only say meme culture because the internet has really specific humour. Because I use the internet a ton I’d catch onto that. It’s just your strawmanning is silly, if you didn’t care about meme culture than you wouldn’t be a fan of EmpLemon.

@BedrockCastle777 there we go. you are doing exactly as i described. what id expect from a redditor NPC

@TheNextGeneration No, LIMC does actual research and his content is far better than BTM's. LIMC's content IS different.

@BedrockCastle777 by your logic, lessons in meme culture (an almost carbon copy of BTM) is also killing memes, yet no one here seems to bitch about him or they move the goalpost saying his content is somehow different

@TheNextGeneration Nobody gave a shit about 2017 memes after a month because BTM was slaughtering them. You are pointing at what destroys your own argument and using it as evidence.

@BedrockCastle777 imagine caring this much about reddit-tier memes, especially 2017 memes when BTM was harassed. memes that literally no one gives a shit about a month later

@I'm a rock. It's not important to <b>you,</b> but people care about it. Which is why it makes sense for the people who care about it to try and keep people like Behind The Meme from fucking up the whole thing. In the end, sports don't matter. Video games don't matter. YouTube arguments don't matter. But we still care about these things because not everything needs to be the most important thing on the planet.

Just because something has a "deep and rich history" doesn't inherently make it important or worth anything.

@I'm a rock. Memes do have a deep and rich history. They might not be important in the grand scheme of things, but they still have a rich history.

@I'm a rock. oh no i completely agree with you about the harassment, but that doesn't mean genuine criticisms like emps aren't valid, even if he was poking fun at btm<br>also, touched grass this morning, on my way to school, thx for the reccomendation tho i'll do it again.

@WeebGunner Yeah, I did read it.
That why I said, and will say once again, who cares?
So the hell what if BTM made shitty meme videos? They are about fucking memes. Memes are not important.
It's pathetic that people legitimately got angry, and harrassed a dude over some bad meme videos.
Liking memes, and making ytps aren't personality traits.
I beg of you; touch some grass, please.

@WeebGunner Yeah, I did read it.

@I'm a rock. its not about the memes, its about btms content did you even read what i said? Emp was upset that behind the meme made a shitty, pandering video poorly explaining ytps that would make the general audience think every instance of a ytp would be like the first one.

@WeebGunner Its fucking memes...
It's not deep at all...
Who cares if someone made "bad content" about fucking memes?

it digs a lot more deeper than that, BTM genuinely made bad content, despite the fact that he was trying to teach, which i do respect.


This video needs an epilepsy warning, this could actually hurt someone


this entire argument on both sides is sad

We need someone to explain memes way better so normies won't misuse them and kill the meme.

Why not start a meme about how sad it is?

Jarred Yeah this guy made a 32 minute long joke....


Shout out to all the fellow ousiders who noticed and loved the prog rock inclusion.


I played this when my speaker had water in it at full blast and atarted to get rid of water


20k normies that felt personally attacked


Lesson in meme culture actually has understanding it's genuinely interesting in his respect for meme culture

Normies watch LIMC to feel like they are not normies


This is too true. This is why memes like Uganda Knuckles and Woah are dying out quickly.

Yeah ugandan knuckles killed pepe and that was because of normies not getting what a pepe was.

They were memes of the moment. They are bound to die fast anyway, like This Is America memes, Even Steamed Hams. They are funny at the beginning, then people start making shit because the good ideas run out and they die. Things that never die easily are  memes normally used during a conversation Like posting a pun and a carlos pic. Memes like these only die when people start using it for everything without giving a shit about the context. kinda like what happened with certain frog or the badly drawn guy with a white face and a big smile

I know it’s like Ugandan Knuckles was popular just a few days ago and now it is considered a dead meme

No, it is because those memes are trash.

Francis Filth i know the origin, i just don't find ugandan knuckles and wow particularly funny


why is this in the end of the Daganronpa Ost playlist-


I wish someone do a "behind the meme" to those crappy youtube comment "memes" like the "nobody" shit .


Watching this in 2021 hearing him say Anthony fantano is knowledgeable on memes lmao


I know that Behind the Meme was severely criticized, but remember that EmpLemon gave constructive criticism. Behind the Meme was looking at it from the wrong angle. Negative things tend to attract more attention. He most likely assumed that 75% of the viewers hated his guts.
   I too thought Behind the Meme was just a normal normie who wasn't insecure and had family and friends. It's because he seems to be extremely distant from people, he made videos about memes because it gave him a reason to keep going. As of today, he compares himself to Icarus, "you get too close to the sun, you fall". You get a little too happy, you get all of that joy sucked out like it was never there. He feels like he can't enjoy happiness, because if he feels a little joy, it will be taken away as soon as he begins to believe that his life doesn't suck.
   Just like EmpLemon, I don't like mediocre content and I don't give UN-constructive criticism. Behind the Meme could have pulled himself out of his mistakes, but continued in his mistakes anyway. EmpLemon was a bit harsh and overcritical about Behind The Meme's content, but he didn't directly hate the guy nor influence hate on Behind the Meme. The point that EmpLemon was making, was that mediocre/effortless content in general was and still is being rewarded more than actually exceptionally, qualitative, and innovative content. The principle that was being taught, is destructive on society. Behind the Meme was just a great example at the time to discuss about this recent issue.

@73days <br>The amount of effort shitposters put into their memes is very evident even in this video. They have the right to criticize someone who puts little to no effort into their content

@73days
The amount of effort shitposters put into their memes is very evident even in this video. They have the right to criticize someone who puts little to no effort into their content

@CB0931
1. YOUTUBE IS NOT EMPLEMON’S JOB SO HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT SUBS HES SAID THIS SO MANY TIMES
2. Behind The Meme appeals to a waaayyy larger audience (those who don’t think for themselves and need someone to explain stuff for them)
3. BTM’s content is legitimately mediocre at best, you cannot deny that

CB0931  He would be jealous of leafy then. But no one likes leafy right?

The problem is that the main hate bandwagon started off by people misinterpreting the meaning of emps video (which he addressed in some of his older videos I believe) so he did have a reasonable amount of influence on what happened or is about to happen. Also, a lot of "memers" are just glorified shit posters so I don't think they have the right to judge anyone's content.

True, but him criticizing BTM due to effortless content and gaining views, kind of looks like jealousy.  Emp having 300k+ subs and quality videos and BTM having 700k+ subs and effortless vids, who gives a shit? The audience are the ones to decide whether or not he would watch the video. Either Emp's content is bad or uninteresting or BTM's videos are "good" or interesting.


they should teach meme culture in college


Emp if you’re seeing this, I just want to apologize that your comment section is the way it is


I like his content it’s pretty interesting


This is like the tenth time I have watched this and I can’t explain how much I love this rant. The editing style and the way you put together your points is so entertaining that I can’t settle watching this just once, twice, or even five times. Many applauds to you, Emp


I keep watching old EmpLemon vids bc I tend to consume as much of a “video essay” type creator’s content when I first sub to them, and this stuff that’s over a year old is so mean
Maybe being 4 years ahead makes this outdated, or maybe it’s because I’m from a completely different part of the internet, but there’s a real resentful streak in these guys
I guess in the downward spiral video he talks a little about it, and this is part of that trend, dunno, it’s just a little funny because I started watching because of the video about hungrybox and melee
It’s funny because the things I like about his vids are similar to things I like in a youtuber like super eyepatch wolf; some guy talking about a thing he likes whilst keying the audience into the history and details of why fans find it important
Funnily enough, it’s the same kind of thing he praises Anthony Fantano (did i spell that right) for here
I’m just glad I found this channel after all the YouTube drama stuff died down, because I’m not a fan of the whole looking down on “normies” (heavy scare quotes) mindset
It isn’t the average media viewers fault for what they consume, it’s big ass media creators for marketing their stuff to such a huge audience.
When you come down to it, internet people just aren’t the “outsiders” anymore. Every toddler with an iPad has access to the internet nowadays, but that isn’t inherently a bad thing; just means we’re more connected
I didn’t even know about behind the meme before watch EmpLemon’s videos about him, clearly he wasn’t actually leaving that much of a negative impact (which ofc Emp actually has another video about how he was kind of harsh in this video, man ain’t stupid)
The thing that is super missing from this video about memes though, is the actual academic analysis of what a meme is. They are defined by being easily spread, and today’s memes are infamous for how self referential they are. The memefication of memes.
Plus, there’s no “meme economy”, we don’t have finite memes, and internet edgelords don’t get to control who is and isn’t allowed to make jokes for god’s sake
Anyway go watch EmpLemon’s other video about that nascar racer named dale eahr… earh… “air-hart”, it’s very very good

@kstiemsma This is true! You're getting at a lot here that I wasn't able to cover in my original comment.
I'll meet your essay in reply with another one if you don't mind, I also find this stuff really interesting.

I think some of this comes down to whether you consider there being more bad quality content in a community a bad thing. It's a give and take; the more fans making stuff for something, the more good and bad quality content you have PERIOD. Granted, I'm not on Reddit, so I can't speak to that side of it, but on YouTube at least, taking video essays as an example, a few years ago you had very few channels making this kind of stuff, and there was a lot of run over between film review and commentary and all sorts of other popular topics. The people who were more "video essay" focused, for the sake of our example here, probably had higher quality stuff they were putting out. Now that the genre is more defined (and because YT has realized this is a type of content they can shove viewers down a watch hole for) there's a lot more video essays and essayists, inevitably leading to more content that's gonna be low effort or not interesting, ie lower quality.
Thing is, from my view, I'm watching a lot more video essays these days by a lot more people, and I find them to be more interesting than the stuff I was watching in say 2014. Just taking EmpLemon here, since that's the video we're on, I like a lot of his new content, obviously better than I like this video or any of the older stuff, and I didn't even know who he was when the amount of content coming out from the genre was smaller.
When something gets bigger there's more infrastructure to support it, so it gets easier for people to make content. The easier it is to make something, the more people are gonna make something that might not take as much effort, but that's also gonna make it easier for people who are really passionate to make something even better.
Actually there's a really good example of this in Folding Ideas' video on NFTs irt to websites, how things went from individual pages that were easy for anyone to code, to social media and platforms because of the increased capacity of the internet to make these more quality webpages, but it being harder for an individual to do.
I could... go on, this is a huge topic, but I think you get my point, lol.
Thanks for the good read, I'll check out that channel you recommended too

two things i'd say

modern youtube in general became super sanitized (artificially) and I don't mean as in "we can't say racial slurs anymore jksfdsf" compared to pre adpocalypse YT. Everyone has to worry about everything they say due to the constant threat of demonetization/sponsorship loss and corporations are the primary focus, not the creators. I thought he was a loser but a good example of this was when YT changed policy specifically bc they wanted to delete leafys channel from the site. so people were able to speak a lot more freely on the site (in terms of cadence/style not content) back then so of course some people would be negative.

people like to spam the "gatekeeping" and "normies" nomenclature and its generally cringe (even back then) but there is some truth in it (and if people discount it completely they are part of the problem). if you've ever been on reddit you can see this just by going to r/popular and see how almost all of the top subreddits are the same (there is also an issue of powermods manipulating content there but thats not close to as important as the general size increase). when communities are small, you inherently have to be more interested in the subject to find it and have more passion for the topic than someone who joins a community with 10 million members. not trying to say that popularity is indicative of quality for media bc i disagree with that notion, but moreso that larger communities trend towards a lower quality of posts because even if the same core demographic of dedicated fans is there, a majority of the new fans will not care about the subject as much and dilute the quality and identity of the community. however, i think this is just inevitable bc its not ok to bully people to keep them out of your group so there's no ethical ways to prevent this from happening. the best we can do is try to assimilate them but every group has a different breaking point for how many people they can integrate without losing the identity of what made the group special in the first place

also sorry for the essay in reply lol i just find these changes over time in internet dynamics to be really interesting, i'd recommend checking out the channel internet impact as she discusses a lot of similar ideas

EARNHARDT. it was Dale Earnhart. I like that one


That Maynard version of 21st century schizoid man you played in this video demanded I subscribe


For the first minute I thought this would be a half an hour YTP


If you want a decent meme channel, go to Lessons in Meme Culture, he sounds more natural.

@**————Znahejebe I never used it, not even ironically. I just hate that word.

Not really. He’s still on par with BTM, just more interesting and less normielike


This guy's voice sounds so much like Behind the Meme I thought he was Behind the Meme and that he was making fun of his fans but I guess not lmao

Some Funny meme that will die in a few months


funny how, now memes last only one of two weeks before overuse and death.


Honestly used to like behind the meme. But the dude kinda shat on memes back then. And then disappeared for months and came back with no explanation


If it weren't for him, no one would move onto surreal humour, and now, were in the post irony era


I know I'm really late to the party here. but come on, why put such good music as background? I find it hard to focus on the script, I lose myself too much in the songs


Imagine using the word normie unironically


i like that you're a DOOM fan instant credibility subscribed


5:37 kind of a bad comparison, infinite warfare was one of the times they actually tried something slightly unique, and were bashed for it


This video strangely makes me feel nostalgic, back in the 90s and 2000.. the internet was incredibly different.

I miss it but post irony can be good sometimes

Yes.  It's truely interesting where the internet has e/de-volved to.  But EmpLemon is good content.


EmpLemon has some of my fav videos on this website.


You do realize how calling yourself an "outsider" is the equivalent of saying "I'm not like the other kids", you just come off as an egotistical nerd worrying about your memes being ruined to me. Glad you grew out of this content.

@Akogiri normies Seething in these replies

@I'm a rock. isn't it kind of hypocritical of you to complain about a video that's a decade old on the internet and say I'm the one who needs to go outside for engaging in discussion with you?

@Akogiri Touch grass, please for the love of God.

@I'm a rock. memes are a fundamental part of internet culture, it's kind of hard not to get into how they operate if you're interested in the topic whatsoever

What's even more sad is that people actually cared about memes this much back then. And some still do now, for some reason.
Like...memes...of all things to get heated over...memes...
Wow

It was never "his content", it's a situational video. And yes, he is an outsider, he's got a history of participating in meme culture.


fun fact, a long time ago i thought this was an episode on the enough is enough episode and i saw it was a rant form a guy that i used to watch from and unsubbed without watching the video.

well damn.


In 2022 this is still the best critique video ever on Youtube history and I'll stick by that opinion.


+St. Zahren Not until world peace were not

muh drama

why cant people get along and live in my rainbow world of unicorns and everlasting peace

marja 1 what the hell is your profile pic

I feel what he's saying.

I once did a thing with memes, and 10 years later they're cringy af, even
though back in the day they were the hottest load of shit.

Normies and little kids are making one's hard work become cringy even faster, which obviously isn't desirable.

That's when you know shit has hit a new low.

Why can't we just get along? For goodness sake, YT is for the viewer's benefit. Not a internet war plain. This drama scene is ridiculous and annoying! YT is broken!

Ngl there was no reason for BTM to get that much harassment


but once everyone is the outsiders

there is no outsiders


It’s insane that the led zeppelin didn’t get this video dmca’s lmao, and Pink Floyd Jesus Christ


looking back, jesus this was silly wasn't it.<br>Sad to bother doing a 30min video about it really and fantano ran away pretty quickly too.

looking back, jesus this was silly wasn't it.
Sad to bother doing a 30min video about it really and fantano ran away pretty quickly too.


I can't stop rewatching this, it's gold.


this reminds me so much of a fucking leafy video, great job dude


Just appreciating some fine history here


Hey, Emplemon. You should cover Lessons in Meme Culture. He's basically Behind The Meme 2.0.

@Alkind how is lesson in meme culture not repetitive

Dont think so, he is straightforward  and have a good point in explaining the meme. Compared to BTM, that is too bland and repetitive


S E N T E N C E
S H I F T E E N
Also the fact that you have to make the simpsons green really shows how much fuck the copyright system is.

BonziBUDDY It adds to the shitposting imo

BonziBUDDY I kinda like the green Simpsons aestetic now, I don't think I could go back to yellow now without it looking weird.


listening to this while working was a grave mistake for my ear drums

Also normies are so lazy, they only watch a video once. That's why there are so many dislikes because normies watched the video once, hated it, disliked it, never looked back and forgot about it.

Just like Behind The Meme.
How Ironic.

Most reddit users are normies + meme reviewers are normies


Earlier somebody drank all the soda and i was pissed, now im ×10 more pissed

are you a normie or an outsider i cant tell from this comment


why did Behind the Meme make a rant on himself?


To be honest, i'm trying to forget Behind The Meme even exists
Basically he is the main normie target
i mean i don't wish him anything bad
but his deplorable videos are stuck in my head O_o


Why did you put me in the intro without consent


Jesus Harold Christ, this video aged badly.


So I, being a normie, just spent over 2 hours watching YouTube poops. And I can confirm that they are shit. And I will continue to be a normie, if only to ensure I never witness such dogshit ever again.


Behind the Meme is like a kid in a group of friends who tries to explain every joke to not only the group of friends, but to everyone who happens to overhear anything the group says. Any inside joke is ruined, and whenever any person in the group comes up with an inside joke he has to either keep the joke to himself or only to one person, or he has to risk having this kid ruin the joke for everyone and make the group even less likely to try to joke around.

And he's getting paid to do this.

What, you mean M E M E C U L T U R E ? The idea of which is hilarious on the face of it? Anyone who takes the whole MEME CULTURE thing seriously is a walking contradiction, because all memes are one big, dumb, effortless joke. The fact that there's a guy making money off of putting low amounts of effort (I assume, I've never watched one of this Behind the Meme guy's videos) into doing the job Know Your Meme already does is PURE COMEDY GOLD.

As far as I'm concerned (I'm not entirely sure, I only watched 8 minutes of this video), this EmpLemon guy is totally full of himself. People who get pissed that their internet memes are entering the mainstream are just hipsters, all totally full of themselves. And if a joke gets beaten clean to death (like that Skyrim one that I hate so much I won't repeat it), then that was its fate. Life goes on. It's not worth getting all butthurt and going, "MY JOKES R SOOPER CEREAL, YOU GAIZ!"

You people are like the nerds who argue about whether the Stones were better than Zeppelin or whether their anime is better than the other guy's anime; you're getting butthurt over dumb, inconsequential non-issues because you need problems that can't be sourced from you yourself in your life. And I've just wasted about ten minutes on you trying to inject some self-awareness into your ass. So thanks for that.

LieutenantJoey I'm not enforcing anything though, just saying it's a bummer that this whole type of culture is being ruined because this guy wants to make quick cash without having any knowledge on the subject.

Look out guys, it's the meme police. Here to pretend to promote free speech while also trying to place guidelines on who, how and when you use dumb internet jokes.

nitro836 This video likely took hours to make itself. Of course they do...

Mæverick So basically me in like Elementary school.

Mæverick No problem bro! I got ur 6 anytime!

EricTheBoringOne thank you, I appreciate your pointless words :)

Cave Johnson It really is just that an entire group of people was formed based off of these inside jokes, and it got/is getting ruined for them. I don't think it's so serious like the video portrays but I still think it sucks to people who actually put a lot of effort into making these inside jokes, and then it ends up getting dilluted so quickly to where all of that work happened and nobody finds it funny anymore.

Damn man this video is like every time you make a joke someone erects a fucking border wall around it and starts demanding people's privilege to use it and sets up code words for who can use it.


I fell asleep to this video, and the Inception ending part was a hell of a rude awakening lmao


Oh, I see now its just daily dose of internet with memes instead of the internet.


The Crash Bandicoot meme died in like 2 weeks because of Behind the normie

Honestly, it wasn't a great meme to begin with. It was basically just Ugandan Knuckles except watered down from the start.......and it wasn't even the WOAH sound from the game which would've been funnier to use.

I agree behind the meme is a normie

But I don't agree Emp Lemon is talking like ear rape

d3pr3553d weeb Sadly, I just don't know how to stop him. The least desirable solution would be to stop making memes so he stops ruining them, but no one wants that. Maybe we can hope that idubbbztv makes a content cop about him so less people would overuse the memes and they die more slowly.

Burrito Uzumaki No, it's not because he's explaining them. It's because he misinforms normies about memes and then the meme gets overused and then it's not funny anymore.

As long as you have the heart of a Funny Boy, Crash's rash will never stop growing on you. A Funny Boy giving up on a an inside joke is like Chris not making a funny scream, or JOOOLIAN not making a wheeze.

Which was a stupid meme, and lasted about as long as most memes do; a week to a month.

Burrito Uzumaki or it just wasn't funny. You know that woah joke was around in the ninties? You've probably never heard of them let me explain. The ninties was a time were people would tell jokes face to face because they weren't completely incompetent in a social setting. For the most part when an outsider would use the joke (remember still talking about the ninties) we would laugh and maybe make a new friend unlike now of course which is a bunch of screechers complaining when someone new uses "their" joke and putting up a stink online like a child. The thing you guys have to remember is just because you have the net now does not mean people didn't know how to joke around before the net existed.

no as they do not know the memes and use them incorrectly and unironicly and kill them quickly and swiftly

Bryan Ramirez Though that is true , even knowing that a normie has made a video on a meme instantly kills it.

Meme died cause it died. Behind the memes video is (spoiler!) a video that can be skipped, or simply not clicked on

Burrito Uzumaki im still piss about that.

And why do memes only last 2 weeks now? What defines a meme and whether or not it is dead? Most of the memes THIS video uses are far older than 2 weeks - so is this a channel of dead normie memes? Wouldn't that render the entire message irrelevant, since "a man who knows about memes" is using only "dead normie memes?"

Let me take a poke at this since meme isn't a word that the internet invented. A meme is an easily spread or "contagious" idea that lends itself well towards repackaging and re-use. Internet memes were called "memes" because they fit this definition perfectly. A 5-10 second clip of an orange video game character with weird audio that can be placed over literally anything to make it weird? Easy to use, tempting to spread, and thus a great meme. When does a meme DIE? Speaking based on definition, only when people stop thinking about it and spreading it - something BTM actually encourages. So it looks like we're going to need a definition change to even make your argument logical enough to debate.

If a meme, when spread to "normies," is dead, then we're assigning a memes life based on it's relative rarity and how little it has spread among the general public. This isn't the definition of "meme" - this is called an in joke. An in-joke is a joke that only makes sense to a small handful of individuals and loses its appeal when explained to the masses. To re-phrase this in meme form, "I liked this trend before it was cool."

Yes. You read that correctly. Logically speaking, you're not "a dank memer in a field of normies" - you're an internet hipster. In fact, given how pervasive hipster culture, the desire to be part of a clique, and the drive to be part of a small group of "experts" on a subject is, you might actually be the true normie afterall.

Memes will never get WORSE when shared to people, if the reason we enjoy memes is because they're entertaining. The only reason a meme can "die" when shared like this is because we derive an intense sense of elitism from being the only group "in the know." In essence, we use the fact that "we're the memers, they're the normies" to derive self esteem in our lives. We find BTM so "destructive" because it actively takes away that distinction and thus begins to undermine our self esteem as we know it.

How about that for a downer? I'll never be able to say this is what the situation is, but I can say that this is what you've accidentally tried to prove with your statement. If we accept that "normies kill memes" this is the only plausible answer.

The MEME could have rested in peace but Behind The Meme atked

The MEME could have rested in peace but Behind The Meme atked

Burrito Uzumaki the outsiders enjoy the memes. Then behind the meme just takes the memes and throws them into a pit of normies who shred them to bits.

I can't understand why people want you to do more YTPs, your recent content is so full of the same YTP feeling that straight YTP seems a little outdated.


1:55 no the mass extinction was actually 66 million years ago, and the many years prior they were dwindling anyway. But people don’t reall get how long they lasted, it was way longer than the age of mammals that we’re in now.


20:37 if you guys wanna skip the cringe comeback but see the next joke set up, here


Just hearing My Time in the background makes this video sooo much better!


I would definitely say that you were the one to A S C E N D me from the normies, and while I still have much to learn, you will be my professor of memes.


I don't understand why we need to explain memes. As a normie, isn't the entire point of memes to get across a point by using imagery that is universal enough so that even if you don't get the reference, you still understand what its all about? I for one, never researched into something like Dat Boi but I still understand the meaning of it just by looking at it. Why watch a video to explain it to you?


This whole video is embarrassing. 💀 Doesn't help that emplemon was around 19-20 at this time. Really crying over memes at that age is just yikes.


31:04 Well, it was part of our high school program. Wouldn't you know it. Let that give you some perspective on its evolution.

I see so many people hating on reddit when the real target should be the generic you tuber comment section it’s so annoying and filled with the same things that every comment is nearly identical, a5 least reddit can do something right.

Huh, that’s funny. I was writing a culture essay and came back here, and you hit on some similar beats that I was writing about too, like with the fact that mainstream communities extract ideas/practices away without recognizing the context they reside in.

I dunno, it’s kinda reassuring that others recognize this, though obviously there’s a certain percentage that will inevitably do so.

Came back to see if I remember this whole little controversy like I thought I did.

My first time watching this I was a btm fan and hated it. The second time I thought about what and I thought the vid was actually pretty good.

Ur Boi yes I didn't like him ever but I was a normie about a year ago and I have been blue pilled

Deep Fried Jesus Whomst'd've is this for?

No.

Without spoonfeeding you, the question itself is wrong.  You should not be asking the difference between outsider and normie memes, because that's not really the distinction people are talking about when they talk about outsider vs normie memes.  Instead, it's a matter of meme vs anti-meme.

An example of where your definition falls apart is in reaction images, which are situation images, and some of the dankest memes, reserved only for certain situations.  In contrast, there is trash dove, which is the cringiest anti-meme ever, and an honest to god inside joke.

Ur Boi I was like this. Accept me to please.

plus ultra So there were a few exceptions?

fixed. thanks. just went to their site and most of the memes are cancer

Pluguts01

Normie memes = situational memes. like a sitcom in an image. often found on facebook, twitter, ifunny, instagram, 9gag

Outsider memes: inside jokes. jokes that people inside the group who created the meme only know (which is why they get angry when people like BTM expose it to normies). often found on 4chan and reddit

as a member of 4chan we are always looking forward to new people to have a new creative place in the community. thank you

Good job! We'll help you learn about memes, young learner.


My issue isn't with things being mainstream my issue is with things being accepted or adopted with no other consideration than simply for it being popular, or some other reason other than considering it for yourself.
Being a sell out vs having agency.
Essentially big corporations or government, or someone who is genuinely doing something they love or trying to help people.
There are many influences but essentially you are either trying to please something you like, or avoid and appease something you don't like.
People want to be loved and powerful, and the best at everything and they want it for nothing, they want it to be given to them. Well it comes at a cost!! At least realize that.


You are now no longer allowed to complain about elitist gatekeeping, thank you and good night


When I seen "Behind the meme vs 4ch" I was like OHHHHHHH NO


fun fact, since behind the meme no longer makes meme videos, the lifespan of memes significantly increased.

it aint by much, but it's significantly better


The salt in the comments section is delicious.

And I hope Behind the Meme responds to this so he can make a bigger fool of himself.

GokensLetsPlays By explaining shit, yeah kiddo

GokensLetsPlays  It's enough salt to sculpt a meme, perfect.


I wonder why this video has such a high ratio of dislikes, I mean I can't imagine it's behind your meme people because they are pretty unlikely of finding this video

i showed this to my fellow friend and he didn't like being called out normiw

To be fair, he might not have known yet, as was the case with myself when I was young.

Kick Face To be honest isn't it common sense not to watch youtube poops if you have epilepsy.

Most YTPs back in the day didn’t have these warnings, which obviously ended in them being added due to things like this.

Kick Face your fault it probably had an epilepsy warning like most ytp do. If you didn’t know you were epileptic, doctor’s fault. If it didn’t even have a warning, then is he at least in jail?


I must be a normie because it took me 4 1/2 years to stumble upon this video.


How do you know that behind the meme fans are over using memes?

hi again, it's ya boi. behind the meme caters to people who are unaware of what the purpose of the meme described is, and through poor education will likely misuse it, but use it nonetheless as to feel part of it. This would not be a problem if there weren't many, but the sheer amount of people unaware of how to use a meme correctly leads a meme to become overused. This likely won't do anything to change your mind but here I am typing it up anyway, see you in another comment


Ya'll need to go outside and touch grass. BTM wasn't as this offensive you guys were making him out be. I never cared about him because memes back then were not meaningful and his videos were like any other videos I saw back in 2016 to 2018. So confusing to see him getting intense backlash, it was very bizarre.


i want to know what is emps opinion on lessons in meme culture

I wonder why he didn’t make a video on pewdiepie who was far worse than btm

probably positive since he gives a better and faster explanation while still being clear about what the meme is


bro if u dont have hearing damage u havent lived on the internet


This video's perspective is actually pretty wise.  Mad respect

So do you see why an entire channel dedicated to explaining "pie to the face" tier jokes is fucking stupid?


I love how normie pinheads are proving past Emp right in every way.

knowyourmeme is kinda like a highschool history book. It goes through the history of the world, without getting into too much detail about specific events. It's much better to read the Greek History book if you want to know the whole story of Ancient Greece accurately.

A closer comparison is a 1st grade history book

@Shitty Speedruns Might I add that everything is probably a lie.

only thing wrong with that comment, the high school history book is made by someone who knows nothing about history.


6:14 love the fact you know about MF DOOM


I didn't mind him at first.

after his first few videos I was sick of it.

he's literally just cashing in on memes


edgycating is  a new term he brought unintentionally taught us.


I always thought he was satire, but in hindsight, it was just  c r i n g e


Who else smelled that Avatar intro reference a mile off? Also, by the sounds of it, memes have been a thing even before the web, wasn't the original purpose of that icthys symbol associated with Christians a way for the then-marginalized Christians to covertly identify one another?


i saw the title, and i saw the thumbnail and i thought behind the meme became self aware


What are your thoughts on Lessons in Meme Culture?


Hey Emp, what do you think of the channel Lessons in Meme Culture?


behind the meme is the reason my school still thinks uganda knuckles memes are funny

@Smogfellows normies don't get truly embarrassed

memes are banned at my school ( the outsiders still use them though )

behind the meme is why my school thought ugandan knuckles memes were ever funny

Sheeple annoy me, people who just hear something 'cool' and 'trendy' and do it regardless of the depth of their understanding on the subject or their actual opinions on said subject. Everytime they utter even a word from their lips it's completely and utterly stupid, both to any listeners and themselves, even.

Im glad i left school before that ugandan knuckles meme. "My name is jeff" and "21 you stupid" was bad enough. Condolences.

Luckily, I don't talk to anyone not in my immediate social circle, so I don't have these issues. Of course, this only means that I can count my friends on one hand. But at least we have obscure Gmod server references...

my god, at least the normies at MY school just listen to k-pop and shit,<br>and rarely reference any kind of meme.

my god, at least the normies at MY school just listen to k-pop and shit,
and rarely reference any kind of meme.

I gets annoying after hearing it every single day in June.

pretty much think of it like this, a new popular song came out and a school is having a dance the school will most likely play the song just to be cool and hip with the kids

Its not behind the meme its just for the sake of it being a meme

You said that because you don’t know da wae

Cameron Williams all of my friends think it's unfunny.

Undying Legend oh, do you have a friend who thinks Ugandan Knuckles is not funny?

Cameron Williams I can't, I'm in a literature club.

Undying Legend then create Ugandan Knuckles Isn't Funny Club

And my school still funds it funny.<br>Please help me

And my school still funds it funny.
Please help me

oh my god, there's this youtuber named LOKMAN, he's an OK youtuber, but his fanbase is what's weighing him down. He'll try something new only to be pestered by his audience to "make more Ugandan Knuckles videos lol it's June and I think this meme is still funny"

Sideburns I'm in the sixth grade. Moving on to the 7th in the end of August <b>help the cringe is power in middle school</b> End of school in the 12th of June. Kid screams "do u kno de wae!" people at this point are at least fucking 11 or 12. Hope they don't still find that normie shit funny in the 7th grade when they're at least 13 years old. Then that's embarrassing, coming from a person who has been embarrassed many times in Elementary.

I don’t know why but I’m anxious while watching this


so i found this funny meme yesterday and its this funny green frog called peter


too many normies have access to memes these days

YOU MUST LOVE AJIT  THEN! his plan is make people pay for memes so then "normies" (also known as people who will lose their virginity) can't get them!

Puff Splix It disappeared. It was going for years and years and... gone

Munchies is it just me or did rickrolling just die.

they don't get access to it they just straight up kill it

Angelo_Gaming_Animations Say lit?
Use spinners?
Dab?
Emojis?
Follow the latest trends?
If these things apply to you.. You're an Normie, there's no such thing as "both".

Memes Took A Major Role Of The Internet!

Munchies We still have 4Chan. At the very least, we have that.

Munchies I am natu happy about these normies

I blew my switches speakers two times watching this


this made me think more than anything. it was well thought out, well assembled, and well explained. i respect you now.

General Ape It is definitly not. He takes the memes tooooo serious

Shavono Same. This video is just too good.


Yoooooo that Midnight Club Dub Edition garage music... spicy.


6:51 what gets me mad the most is that they all come from Ivy league schools, like did they not know anyone playing the game in college?


*3 years later*: Video is not hated

Me: this is great!
However, you are absolutely correct for meme overuse. I am noticing that memes are now dying out in a super-fast rate, like literally less than a week ago r/dankmemes burned though 2 feminist memes in less than 18 hours. 18 HOURS, I miss the days when memes actually lasted at least 2 weeks even though I may be relatively new to memes I think this video bridged that gap for me on how memes today now die faster than any time before. (additionally if there are more memes sources you can recommend because r/dankmemes is turning into a decaying ceaspool and I'm actually getting bored of the blandness of the memes there just like how behind the meme was (I regret yet appreciate it so I would at least discover and survey memes) and I just like craving the less diluted soda, I want better memes, any channels, sites, or accounts I should follow to get a general direction for higher quality memes?)

most mainstream memes from mainstream sites like reddit or instagram are made by normies and for normies, nobody cares if they die


Haha normie bad. While I agree with the video, I do not like the visualization of normie culture as a monotonous garbage heap. Many "made for nomies" stuff can be enjoyable, entertaining, or inquisitive. I believe both sides are attempting to gatekeep, making it annoying to get into niches or enjoy generalized content. I love memes and Reddit and my complex strategy games. I would be happy if more people were interested in them and the communities grew.<br> This is kinda off topic and might be a controversial opinion so I'm going to end with: Behind the Meme is a bad attempt of bridging the gap in culture and only serves to push them apart.

@Hydro Zyrge This is an observation created from a different effect. Jokes are not funny because they are "inside" or "isolated", while humor is complex, most comedy is derived from a surprise factor. When a joke is constantly retold and shared it loses the surprising effect and is instead expected.
 On a different note, I do not believe most people enjoy things because it is popular. Popular things are evolutionarily more likely to be good (not in today's modern age however) and people expect to like them, that doesn't mean they will, but having a constant placebo makes it easier for a popular thing to be shared and become more popular. What I am trying to oppose is DISliking something because it is popular, and a common argument for people who act as if everything popular is bad is that "normies only like it because it is popular"
Sorry for the rant, I just have a lot of oppinions and enjoy sharing them.

While stuff made for normies can definitely be enjoyable, most normies only enjoy that stuff because it's popular and not because they actually like it. While memes are good when there's too much exposure to it dies.Like an inside joke the joke gets ruined when too many people know about it, when too many people know about it, the joke will be used more and more until it dies, and becomes unfunny.


So, basically, a normie is most of my classmates.

Random Guy This is the only fucking comment i like in this comment section

Steinsline L My classmates don't like memes.

This fucking comment chain gives me the feeling of those 'mememaster' memes where a kid shouts cringy memes like "hello this is dog" to others just to feel special. Please don't tell me you guys are for real.

(For example: "I'm the king of memes" video on youtube)

No insult to you, but normies are viewed the same as f2ps in tf2. "I see you everywhere"

I understand it a lot. However, there aren't many normies in my class. me

You are more normie because the word desu is in your sentence.,

Fast Cow Did you happen to find that image in your pfp from the EB wiki?

Random Guy I know the feeling. It's so painful

My classmates don't even know about memes.

I am not a normie or outsider I am the most annoying thing you can't think of multiplied by aids god help me.

Random Guy when my friend go on the Internet I look up a new meme and there like 'GET THAT SHIT OUT OF MY FACE'

666 likes, don't ruin please<br>EDIT: It got ruined right when I finished this comment.

My classmates are worse, they start DEAD MEMES!

Random Guy Oh my god all of my classmates, even my friends are normies

to clarify... would I be classified as an outsider considering I am generally disgusted by most of the fads and popular (overused) memes? I hate dabbing, hated bottle flipping, hated fidget spinners (as a fad not as a device as I think it is generally somewhat useful for those that need it), and many of the subsequent things that pop up every few months for 90% of the population to get attached to for a brief period of time and then have media outlets catch on several months later and make cringe...<br>hmmm... not sure if I just answered my own question...

I'm No one damn, i thought the final time people cared about pepe when it was declared as a hate symbol

true story a normie kid in my class said another normie kid had normie memes.

Pequod at LZ I didn't know what name to put. I just wanted the most random name I could ever have. Perhaps I could have named myself after a dead meme, but anyway. What's done is done. Now I can't poot another name because I have helped a friend of mine in a video.


I remember when Behind The Meme did a whole video where he like<br>Pretended to be depressed or some shit

I remember when Behind The Meme did a whole video where he like
Pretended to be depressed or some shit

nah he wasnt pretending to be depressed it was just a really shitty attempt at social commentary


I love emp but this is probably my least favorite video of his. It's basically him saying "Bow before me simpleton for you enjoy [Popular Property Here]" for 30 minutes


I have 2 things to say 1 good video 2 why is evry thing a shit post it's perfect I genuinely love this video


Meme review becomes worse after that one famous youtuber review memes for 9 years old weekly


using the gates of delirium in this vid makes it instantly based


It's genuinely sad that Behind The Meme got so much hatred for no reason and yet Lessons In Meme Culture does the exact same thing but with no hatred towards them. I don't get the internet sometimes.

The hate and raid was a accident and was not intended, the doxxing and stuff was not intended, and was addressed in one of his videos. and by the way LIMC make WAY better ways to show what a meme is with its history, meaning, the joke, etc. this guy just found one website, clicked on it, read off the information, and THAT was the video

When I noticed some of LIMC's newer videos, they felt forced like Tiki.


What the hell I found it in the danganronpa v3 soundtracks playlist ? What does that video doing here ?

Late but I think the dude hosting the playlist accidentally saved it there, because pressing Save saves the video in a recently interacted playlist.<br>That sheit happens to me too when I accidentally add music videos to one private playlist.

Lmao same, I also found this video there


Good video, but it seems that a lot of people who both like this content and hate it have taken it in a wrong way.

Behind The Meme is not a bad guy, I think, but rather just has stale content that takes minimal effort. If he did something awesome with his videos like shared personal anecdotes, glorified the origins of the meme, discussed in depth some variances the meme has and so on, his target audience could get a better look at what beautiful memes the Internet spawns. Just like EmpLemon I wish he put like actual effort in his videos instead of just reading Know Your Meme.

I have never watched most meme channels with much dedication, but channels like Behind The Meme have potential if they are not done in a copy-paste style that takes little effort.

One personal anecdote is that as a fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure I watched BTM's video on the 'To Be Continued' meme that JJBA's anime adaptation made more mainstream. BTM made me feel like I knew less about the meme since he handled the topic so quickly and gave no insight on either JJBA as a series or the meme in question. A three-five minute video of padding and reading off of Know Your Meme is not enough to highlight the beauty of a meme, if there is any. I hope BTM put some actual effort in his videos and made his fans appreciate the evolution of these funny things in a medium that have evolved to become memes over time.

Plus EmpLemon raised a good point, new memes die out really quick due to the increased exposure and spread. I wish we could do something about this, but what can we do? I don't want those new funny memes to get stale and boring rapidly, but that is eventual based on how quick they spread, all thanks to catalysts like Behind The Meme. His actions unfortunately make jokes become stale quicker and that is sad, but I don't think we should crucify him for it or anything.

Well, this comment was pointless and dragged on for too long. Anyone who made it here, have a digital cookie.

> Digital cookie <

look at ur fingertips... *breathe in* boi

Boush 117 btm is just trying to make money with all these shitty demonitisation bots on YouTube

Another problem is that no one wants new memes. Just SpongeBob, sex, and earrape. Believe me, I tried. I wanted to expand the meme scape. I made completely fresh memes, but no one wanted anything to do with it. I quit memes after that.

I'm not sure whether or not I should like Behind The Meme. I mean I did watch some of their videos and I thought that they we're okay, but after watching EmpLemon's video, I don't know if I should keep watching their videos. Now, that I have all of this knowledge, it seems pointless to keep watching Behind The Meme. It's probably better if I don't.

We have found intelligent life in the YouTube comment section.

Finally, a safe haven in the wasteland of people who have just been told again and again why Behind the meme is ruining memes. I can rest in peace.

Also we should put a pad lock on the comment so no haters can get in.

This whole fucking “Oh no Behind the meme is killing the memes” shit was so childish cause memes will always die not a big deal just go outside

@Carlson Ray Withers "touch grass" is not exactly the nicest way to put it, but I'm sorry you feel like you can't talk with anybody. Staying on the internet constantly isn't really healthy and the world isn't as clearly divided as you think. I don't have an easy time talking to people outside but I try and that's how you can find friends with similar interests IRL too. Normies and outsiders aren't a thing, we're all just going about our lives and enjoying what we want to enjoy!

@Carlson Ray Withers you are not alone my comrade. Together we shall reclaim the resistance!
#BringBackTheDislikeButton

@OxiTape Why don't you get off my grass then? The only ones who complain about gatekeeping are the ones who are meant to be kept out, after all.

@Carlson Ray Withers you are a grown man (at least I’m assuming you are) saying the word “normies” in 2022. Touch some grass.

Well that's the point... Outsiders hang out on the internet, Normies should go outside. The internet space is for outsiders, The mainstream space is for normies. What's the point of going outside if you can't talk with anybody? What's wrong with wanting to have a specific person you can talk to and you have the same tastes? Normies destroy that space by inserting themselves to it.

Wow. Honestly, that speech was incredible. I have always loved your YTPs and knew that you were a pretty clever and talented person. You've shown your opinions spectacularly and it's shown me that you are not only hilarious, but also extremely intelligent. I know it's probably highly unlikely that you are going to read this, but if you do, I just want you to know that you are one of my favorite YouTubers of all time. EmperorLemon, I give you my word. LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR!


Wow, I'm actually surprised.
You not only were able to make a 32 minute video and keep it fresh and non-repetitive, but you also managed to keep in entertaining. You made sure to not repeat yourself in your arguments and actually use logic and valid points in your case.
Congrats man, that's actually incredible.


Every day someone comments no this video. Let's take a moment to think about that.


You could argue tik tok is doing the same thing now


4 years later and meme culture has been destroyed by normies.


I want to thank this wonderful man for saving my non-normie(ness?).

I watched EmpLemon a while back, but I forgot about his channel.

I used to watch BTM a lot before I saw this video but I always thought his videos were helpful, but when I first saw this video he opened up my eyes and helped not become a normie.


demotivational poster were the best! All my buddies and I did was look those up in Photoshop class


Is it just me or did we only hate BehindTheMeme because he made low effort content that gained so many views while YouTube poopers were crying about getting copyright striked by Viacom for the 5th time?


Now, we have the superior lessons in meme culture

they're the exact same channel but less obnoxious

still awful though

That anyone considers internet "memes" sacred is ridiculous. I may not like "Behind the Meme" much, but if he makes all you people angry he can't be that bad.

There are two bad spectrums, the memes are sacred group and the people who use memes to death group. I think emplemon was a moderate but was so mad at the misrepresentation of BTM that he considered himself for this video the messiah of the sacred group just to show how BTM is appealing to the people who use the memes to death.

all memes follow a cycle. actually scratch that every game and song  that's different and pushes the envelope that manages to get popular follows the same cycle. at first it starts will a small fan base  that's dedicated. however young kids and young adults also happen to find this once obscure game song or joke and they begin to ruin it. they misunderstand what the original work meant as it devolves into an endless list of unfunny jokes and bad representation. when people then look at that original idea or piece of media they don't even bother to look at it anymore or try to understand why some of the original fans liked it. they associate it with young kids and bad jokes and all people who once enjoyed that content are now looped into the same category as all the new fans. this leads to them getting bullied for liking it because its now just a "dumb kid thing." and that's pretty much how the story goes.


You should do a video on Lessons on Meme Culture


why is this video in a DRV3 OST playlist

why am i not upset about that

My gosh, I came from there as well. I was looking for the main jazzy intro theme & saw that this was here


I am very critical of the normie label as by labeling a group of people without a 100% definitive version of who is what, everyone claims to be whichever one gets the most respect. So the normie label just leads to a flood of people who claim to be "outsiders" but really aren't. Evidence of this is that every single 12 year old claims to be "nerd" or an "outsider" but in reality, every twelve year old is a normie.

Ian Hoopes "every 12 year old is a normie" try again honey <b>puts random picture of a 12 year old "outsider" trying to be relevant</b>

Well now memes are 100% normiefied so is the internet :’(

@ayy lmao yeah but 2012-15 is the golden age compared to today I do agree 2007-2011 was way better, id even throw 2012 in there

@Spiderham55 and 2015 was the last good year, after that it went down hill fast.

@Spiderham55 not even close to what it’s like today, the scale is so huge it’s like comparing a baseball to the Milky Way galaxy. And calling memes 2015 is a stretch

@Spiderham55  literally 6 years ago before memes where mainstream, did you not watch the video?

@Spiderham55 what was stopping people from logging onto the internet in 2015? Lmao

@Dookie nookie not hugely accessible like now

@Spiderham55 it was always accessible it is now a cesspool

@Spiderham55 no it’s not. Memes last for a week (and it’s worse if they don’t ex: among us) because they get incredibly overused very quickly.


goddamn, thats a great graph at 8:28
edit: oh shit it got better at 8:43


You make some really good points. And your arguments are solid and convincing. Good use of analogy


For me, ignorance is useless, apparently. I feel like ignorance is a bad thing, even when it comes to parenting.
