Canky Memes (also known as dursed memes or miscellaneous memes) are memes that fall out the regular, basic meme category. Similar to dank , these memes when first appearing are funny, but get worn out and then deep-fried which are posted on r/dankmemes and Instagram. This memes “parents” are the combination between cursed and dank, which gives them a weird personality and meaning, while the looks of it give it a funny but absurd vibe.

These memes are entirely random, memes that belong in this region are deformed and horrifically photoshopped emojis with no context, “When The When The” memes that resemble classic 2010-2011 memes, cursed “Yes” memes, and memes with a cursed image with a funny caption that still goes with the said image.

Some memes from this subcategory are then officially moved to a dank meme category. For example, the stonks meme which was funny at first, but then deep fried, worn out, and posted on Instagram. These memes are often mistaken for “hol’ up” and “cursed” memes but they aren’t. In almost all cases these canky memes have the vibe of them, but the looks are similar to a dank meme instead of a picture with just a cursed caption.
Example of Canky Memes used in a conversation:

Talker 1: yo dawg look at this cursed meme i saw
Talker 2: hey that’s really funny, but i don’t think that’s a cursed meme
Talker 1: what do you mean it isn’t?
Talker 2: it’s looks more like a dank meme...
Talker 1 and Talker 2: Is a CANKY meme!
