Have I lost track of what memes are?

Or is it the children who are wrong?

Memes died 20 years ago. People just share sentences, sometimes with pictures now.

Am I annoyed at the change, or just happy that people are reading more?

This isn't really reading. It's just marketing bullshit

The concept of memes is much more than image macros.

I stand with you.

Duckroll was a meme.

FGSFDS was a meme.

Mr T ate my balls was a meme.

Not every image macro is a meme.

A picture of Wikipedia text or an article is not a meme. (Everyone else get off my lawn, there’s other grass to touch.)
