I'm a millennial. When I was a little kid, I used to play in the grass and build LEGO robots and play Dogz 5 on the family PC. I didn't know what memes were, let alone the world wide web. Lots of boomers take pride in the fact that their means of entertainment were extremely limited in their younger years. Well I don't. In fact, I think memes would have enriched my childhood. Being exposed to memes at an early age makes you a funnier human. Period. Don't ask me about the science behind this claim—I just believe it to be true. You can't tell me that people would be funnier today if memes didn't exist. Memes teach people how to communicate through humor. Regularly creating memes is an indirect way of training yourself to become a master of jokes and wit. Being meme-literate makes you better equipped to recognize sarcasm, satire, and trolls. Do I regret not having the internet as a kid? Of course not. But I don't feel better or worse than anyone else for having had that experience. I'm just grateful for the memes.
