I thought at first this was just describing how each generation is but its a bit more abstract than that: these are the kinds of memes they make.
Boomers are how theyre better than you
Gen X is dad jokes
Millennials is life sux
Gen z is absurdist like HONSE
what is gen alpha on
what are the cool hip kids memeing
I won’t get it but tell me like I would. Make me feel young again
67 is still around. Skibidi toilet is just about dead. Not sure if there's much else.
My 9 year old nephews told me months ago that 6-7 was already lame.
Which makes sense. If a kids' meme is at a point where adults know enough about it, it's probably already passé. That's just how this stuff works.
It's not at its peak, but it is still alive. Perhaps not at their school though.
Wonder if it differs by coast
Things are still Ohio though, right?/millennial
