Meme culture used to be creative, fun, and transgressive. Now most of you (and channers) just repeat meme-language (and literal memes) without any intelligence or spontaneity. Whenever I read a discussion online half the conversation is dead memes ("you're coping, bro"), as if you are 11 year olds who just learned about swear words.

Or, to put it in meme language, you sound like the "normies" and "NPCs" you are mocking.

Can meme culture be salvaged?

No and I await the impending horrors of the youngest generations memes

The massive growth of the internet userbase led to an inevitable fracturing.
This results in many groups having their own "ingroup" memes and a few overarching memes most understand
Just because you aren't "in" in any group doesn't mean there aren't any creative sub cultures left on the internet
Memes haven't stagnated, you have

I couldn't agree more. Memes have gotten stale and corporate. I've decided to create a new line of memes that take them back to their roots in early 2000's internet culture and outsider art, while charting new and transgressive paths forward.

For your consideration, my first piece, simply titled "Nigger in 72-point Comic Sans on white background".

Observe the way it sits above an empty box. That is to signify thinking outside the box, as we early pioneers of meme culture did when we first discovered the word "nigger". The box itself also represents the internet moderators who suppressed our truth by banning us as we called them niggers.

Consider the following: memes were never good or creative you're just older and jaded now. I've seen this memes are shit now griping literally every year for the past 20 years.
