There are many memes and in-jokes I don't get these days, and Know Your Meme has been getting worse and worse to the point of being useless.

For example. The Know Your Meme page about the Netflix adaptation meme. I know the meme as fictional posters for shows with some kind of race swap or abandoning the source material like "Polar Bears" with an image of black bears, or "George Flyod" starring Ryan Gosling. Know Your Meme claims it's about bad cosplayers? Even the comments are confused.

So, this thread is to ask about various memes, news, references, and jokes that you seem to have missed.


One recurring trend in some Discord servers I'm in. People would suddenly start spamming pictures of Japanese female wrestlers and random clips of their matches, no discussion or context. I assume this is just thirst posting, but their might be more to it?


I keep seeing this character used in various random clips with no context. I'm told it's called "boy kisser" but any more info than that is vague, and doesn't seem to have any connection to the content posted.


In meme compilations, videos of some ingenious or dumb invention or idea plays the song "Gangsters Paradise" by Coolio and the phrase "This is Elon Musk". The Elon Musk part I get, but why is the song always gangsters paradise?


Finally. There's a few memes I've seen featuring either a cute animal in a disguise, or an object that looks like an animal, with the captions "I'm a completely normal X, I can be trusted around Y." with X being the thing the animal is diguised as, and Y being their favourite food. Attempting to search for these only brings up a meme called "suicide squidward".

Wtf Know Your Meme used to be based as fuck. They actually had a page on GamerGate that explained that shitshow in a neutral and honest fashion back in the day! I also distinctively remember that they correctly said the Netflix Adaptation meme was making fun of how Netflix kept making shit adaptations from beloved anime and other things with loads of race swaps and 4Kids Dub tier twisting of source material, no idea why they would change it. Maybe the tranny jannies finally broke through the old guard there to enforce their faggotry on the place?

I can explain and guess some points about the memes you are confused a little bit.

The Boy Kisser was a simply furry drawing from Twitter in 2022, but then it hit a memetic status due to the arcane complexities of internet culture hitting on it. It doesn't seem to be much more complicated than just "haha funny cat".

The "This is Elon Musk" voiceclip along with Gangsta's Paradise on footage of weird machines and such seems to be a case of zoomers taking a shortcut on meme making. You know how back in the day you had exploitables and those memes with a pre-made setup where you filled in the punchline? Or Advice Animals where you had the background and just swapped the text for a different joke? It's like that, except with the audio track. Zoomers saw a original joke about some rube-goldberg looking ass machine with that soundtrack and used it on other similar funny machines.

As for the last one, it is a extension of a Advice Animal style joke which indeed used the Squidward Suicide image used to pre-face the copypasta. It was that picture with the caption "Yes I am a perfectly normal person and can be trusted with weapons and explosives" but seems to have been expanded to similar jokes.

I feel like I've seen based or neutral content there not long ago. It's going to get compromised a little bit at a time. If you like some useless history on there, better archive it.

I don't know if they've gone woke. It's more a case of mis-attribution of memes I do know, combined with failing to explain memes I don't making me not find the site useful any more.

For example, crediting Jim Sterling with inventing "big chungus", or crediting Vox Day with inventing the term "mid-wit", even though I vaguely remember both terms being used when I was teenager. It's understandable because the source is "trust me bro".

Getting the Netflix adapation meme wrong I could maybe let slide if the "anime, manga, netflix adaptation" template came first. I'd argue that's not the one people know, but I could accept that I'm out of touch.


If @General Emílio Médici is right, then the current memes I mentioned are still things I can't really search for since they're side effects and not really memes themselves. Know Your Meme saying boy kisser is pro-lgbt, that some popular accounts retweeted it, and then shrugging, it's not a fault of the site, but more that the joke is shallow and there's nothing to it.

IIRC the first place that the Boy Kisser meme got big was in some tranny community, but people saw it and gladly used it on their own communities without any sort of tranny message. It could be that trannies, being the narcissists they are, are simply over-blowing their own importance and ignoring other people.

I honestly have no idea on what's even popular anymore. I know rap is popular and streaming services are a thing but on memes? I'm not really sure. It's something that I don't have a grasp on since I was in high school, and the only indication I get is KYM because I'm a psuedo-boomer who uses no social media. I believe everything is on Tiktok nowadays and those memes die so fast that I can't even figure out what's relevant. Hell, even companies are having with this, so I heard. I guess when you get older your desire to sit on the internet wanes, which is what I have been feeling lately. There's not a lot of good information on it and the memes are quite frankly, boring. I believe Fortnite is still popular? TF2 is still played by zoomers, so I guess it's relevant. 4chan exists for all of the nonsensical arguments and constant screaming. Youtube is mostly clickbait, even if I don't see it because I use unhook. A lot of zoomer culture is centered online so I'm pretty much out of the loop. I know instagram was popular because I was a kid when it's relevancy was at it's peak, along with Snapchat. And vine, remember vine? I even remember Musical.ly before it became Tiktok over some IHE video. Maybe it's the internet being fractured? Or it's just me and everyone else around here being out of the mainstream?

Why are there a bunch of memes about Nissan Altimas lately?

Nissan gives predatory loans to niggers with bad credit so they are popular with niggers with bad credit. I don't know why the Altima is more popular among niggers with bad credit than their other models.

Wrong.

The Altima meme is a very real thing. If you ever work in a scrap yard, you will see nightmare altima's.

Specifically, young women, in my area Mexican young women, get Altima's, and they drive them like shit, to the point of endangering themselves and others.

The wrecks are insanely bad.

The reality predates the meme. I haven't been on a scrap yard since 2010, but those dumb cunts gave Porsche Girl a run for her money.
