Wow, this was kind of a fun thread for the first three pages.

I agree with what The T was trying to get across.

If you're nitpicking about the terminology then really you're just trying to ruin everyone else's fun. Personally, I'll go back to having fun.

using capslock to denote shouting is not a meme, but it certainly spread worldwide

Caps lock is cruise control for cool.

I still want to have fun with this though, hope that's okay.

You can't make a meme - a meme is a thing which travels all over the internet, spread by thousands and thousands of emails etc etc. It's the spreading that makes something a meme. Memes can't be made by one person. (Unless they're an egotist shouting "ME ME!")

Only in a Progarchives can you find objections to a thing made just for fun, objections based on the actual proper use of a stupid internet invention.

Oh no prog fans aren't pretentious no they aren't...

This isn't even bad. You should see the rages on sites like /mu/ at people doing crap like this.

We even have threads specifically dedicated to laughing at people who don't know our internet conventions.

There is a vicious cycle of 4chan->Reddit->9gag->Facebook->old people->marketing departments in terms of 'memes'.

The classic examples of image macros and rage comics are years old, but most people are only finding out about them now, due to the slow trend. And each step along the "Natural Progression of Meme Cancer" (actual term, did not make it up) shows the meme deviating from its origins until it is plain not funny anymore. And then the final stage when companies try to use them to look "cool" and "in the know", when they really just look like they're following a 3 year old fad for 12 year olds.

I frequent both 4chan and reddit so I know about all this crap, but

tl;dr these memes haven't been funny for years.
