While I'll agree the internet has been overrun by shortform shit, calling internet memes uncreative is such a boomer-ass take. This guy is just nostalgia baiting for points.

Get enough and eventually you become nonymous

I think you go from Anon to Fam

I think for 4chan any post that doesn't result in you getting called a slur is considered a +1

Yeah, plenty of Gen Z memes still make me laugh. They're just in different forms, including some video "templates" where you just slap some captions on characters in the same scene:

Starship troopers "I'm doing my part" montage interrupted with Tim Robinson "I didn't do shit!"
Diary of a Wimpy Kid scene with kids auditioning from by singing Total Eclipse of the Heart, giving way to some kid who's actually good.

Are they really that different from some high quality gifs or deep fried memes from the late 2010's, advice animals from the early 2010's, demotivational posters or absurd flash animations from the 2000's, or joke websites from the 90's?

People will always be funny, and some internet jokes will start fresh before being run into the ground. Remember the ones you like, and then forget the ones you don't.
