A meme that has already past its best before date but is still being used.
While it can often refer to meme templates, you are most likely to come across one in the form of a YouTube comment. In fact, text-basedmemes are the ones that get overused and abused the most often.
When a meme is overused, it is most likely valued for its disposability and effortlessness in conveying a message (rather than trying to come up with something original).
Examples of overused memes:
- Among us, Amogus, sus, etc.
-"Sheeeeessh"
- "hold my beer"
- The versatile nobody: format
- "Is this a Jojo reference?"
- Drakeposting and its variants
- and much more

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. PenguinBooks,1992. p. 38)
