The golden age (2015-???), The dank-Memebrian. The era which we live in undoubtedly the pinnacle of memes. What marks this era is the full synchronization of memes and also social media particularly
FaceBook and Twitter. Memes are shared in a rate which dwarfs the rate they were shared in the Memebrian Era. Memes in this era are obscure, cryptic and just down right dank. One of the main traits of the dank-Memebrian era is the appearance of 'Super-Memes' essentially a singular meme which would dominate FaceBook groups and Twitter feeds for weeks even months at a time, Harambe,
SpongeBob, Mr Crabs,
Arthur, Dat Boi, the list goes on. These memes would circulate in their pure form for a while and then they experience a remix period when the meme would be tweaked in a small way to add spice to it until it would ultimately become stale and dies out from over use. Lets move on to
YouTube,
youtube is still a major contributor to meme culture however the focus has shift from viral videos to exposed videos. Now there are massive
YouTube channels which by parody and actively
roast and create memes out of other of other people for comedy sake, and it's beautiful. Over all Dank Memes are what keep the internet in shape to keep thriving for what the future beholds for it.
