    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.

        GenX checking in, I have this image stored on my phone and just throw it at people for no good reason because it pleases me.

        I don’t know what it means. I don’t think it means anything. Fits my worldview nicely.

          Juan’s been around since before gen z could speak. That one’s millenial humor that gen z adopted and extrapolated.

          Looks like it popped up in 2015, so not as old as I remember. Still can be argued that it’s too old to be gen z meme. the meme juan was 2020, though, and originally posted to Instagram, so it’s genz

              Mostly fact-checking. I will absolutely still throw out wrong facts and find out minutes later that they’re wrong.

            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.

          We never seem to skip the bit where a gen Xer points out genX erasure.

          That was British humor specifically.

          See Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett for more. Even Rowan Atkinson.

          Okay, I guess they were all boomers, but still!
