mainstream meme

When a meme has become so popular that it appears on the news, TV, or anything else outside of message boards. When this happens, it is deemed too popular and forever called "OLD".

Rick Rolling has been a mainstream meme for a very long time. Cut it out.

Anti-Mainstream meme mindset

An Anti-Mainstream meme mindset refers to a person in which they have the commitment to stay “niche”. A group of Anti-Mainstreamers will pump out new memes often so they can have their own memes. If a source that finds the meme is deemed “mainstream” or it becomes too well-known (mainstream) the Anti-Mainstreamers collectively flock to a new meme, basically abandoning it. Both of the times that the surge in Anti-Mainstreamers happened, it made a negative impact of the Meme Cycle. (SlimeTok and NicheTok)

Person X: SlimeTok forever! Don’t let the Dandy’s World fandom find our material!
Person Y: NicheTok forever! Don’t let mainstreamers find our material!
Person Z (smart) : All of you have the same Anti-Mainstream meme mindset..
