The Death of Memes

Комедия

While I don't actually think memes are going away any time soon, it's not unreasonable to assume that the current state of the medium is under considerable change. The pressure of the cycle of relevance will someday catch up to it, and we might be more confused than ever!

    Mah d00d, you are ATR, (above the rest) of your generation in awareness and understanding! AND you're a great producer and editor, not to mention storyboard master. So don't ever stop what yer doin!!! Do me a favor tho and look up Dr Noriaki Kano's "model of customer delight", (about expectation/delight cycle) AND combine it with the speed at which technology is advancing our quantity and quality of media. Now focus it all in on a screen approximately 3inches by 6 inches, (cell screens) and BAM, you have a hot mess! It's like a large pane of glass with several cracks in it, (a handful of media options) that falls on the ground and gets SHATTERED. Now there is an OVERWHELMING amount, of options and producers of media. To make it worse, the next generations won't know nothing but small screens, (cell phones). Where it used to be easy to catch attention has changed dramatically. The last vestige of control through "television" networks that are dying as well, being replaced by cellular companies. Your goal, (if you choose to accept it) will be to understand what is going to happen next and how to stay on top! Yer schmart, I'm sure you'll figure it out. This message will now self-destruct. Smile. Thanks for great content. Peace, Honest.

    This was easily one of your top 3 videos of all time. The intro and opening statements were so good and got me hooked. At first I wasn't sure where you were going, but linking stand up comedy and it's downfall really clicked. I still feel there will always be a place for still image memes, but it's insane to think that short videos aren't the future of shareable comedy.

    I don't much enjoy the modern short form video comedy, at least not the way it mostly is with its speed, meta and stupidity, I enjoy structure, and the crumbling means hundreds of thousands of things you enjoyed, whether years ago or yesterday will be automatically considered unenjoyable. This fast pace forms exclusiveness for the enjoyment of entertainment, and the souring of hours of work and effort to create something enjoyable for others. Its truly unfortunate that the classic meme is dying, not that those took hours, but I mean complex thought out skits and sketches when I refer to that work, which is also dying out.

I really hadn't thought about it, but it seems like Millenials may have been the last generation to produce any stand up comics, and Gen X'ers to produce any stand up comics worth listening to.

    I was scrolling trough reddit after your video. I wondered in the past where the parentheses suddenly came from in memes. After your video I realized it's because of the intertexuality of memes being discarded. Since memes are created faster and discarded faster the intertextuality is completely left out now. Now the context is put in parantheses after the punchline, so the context becomes the new punchline. Although the relatability and the intertextuality were the point of memes. (I don't know where I was going with this, but this is just my two cents based on this video.)

    Yeah I mostly feel the same, it's a bit depressing, but I think that if you are not a complete normie you can find those sources of incredibly niche memes that make you really happy if you are capable of understanding them, for example what works for me are some small discord servers about chemistry, physics, engineering, 3D printing, electronics or rocketry. Just find the topics that fit your own hobbies or interests. I think (and hope) that these kinds of actually really *good* memes won't die... Good video btw, as always

I love the way you blend from scene to scene (or meme to meme) never fully calling out your framing devices, never quite copping to "what you're doing". It's meta meming about memes, and the result is as much a demonstration as it is a dissection. Excellent meta, man. I really like where you're going with your stuff.

    I will say that I think standup comedy can and does appeal to Gen Z, albeit in different ways. There are more female and openly LGBTQ comedians than ever before, for example, and younger millennials and older zoomers are starting to make their way into the standup scene, and the jokes that they tell better reflect the lives of the young people they appeal to.

I can't believe I'm witnessing the death of memes. Time is so fast. I haven't seen meme images for like a year. It's probably because I'm disconnected from meme groups but I haven't seen new formats. There are new types of memes tho. I've been on TikTok, there's a lot of funny videos and I see that memes are evolving to videos.
