Memes have become an internet sensation in the last decade, distributing serotonin across the world. It has become somewhat of a dynasty, a kingdom, an empire… there are so many categories at this point that it's hard to keep track. One such category is definitely running in the lead for the 'Meme Award of the Year': Classical art and memes mix together like salt and pepper, bacon and eggs, macaroni and cheese… in other words, they just work.

Our ancestors would most likely be appalled to see how we mix their great art with some modern funnies, but this humor defines THIS generation, and we are now in 2023, after all. Still feels a bit weird to say it. The stoic, sullen expressions on the faces of these memes, along with the cleverly written relatable quotes… we're happy to live in the digital age, despite all the other issues it brings. So, whether you're an art student or a general meme lover, you are welcome to scroll down and have a laugh.
