Meme Immunity
Meme immunity is when an individual has been exposed to every version of a meme and, therefore, it no longer seems as funny/interesting to them.
When meme immunity occurs for the majority of the online community, the meme is said to be 'out of date' or 'over-used'. At this point, many people start using the meme ironically.
People who have less exposure to memes often develop meme immunity later than everyone else.

Person 1: "I can't believe Bob still uses Harambe memes unironically. I thought everyone would have meme immunity by now."
Person 2: "He doesn't go online much so he isn't exposed to memes as often."
