Thanks to memes, classical art has become more exposed to the general population, rather than sitting in a museum. Old paintings have become ever so relevant again, and it is in large thanks to internet culture. Memes add that cheeky modern twist that may have been missing before (yo, art majors, don't come at us, it's all in good fun). The artists of said paintings, as well as our ancestors, might not be thrilled about our new kind of comedy, but what can we say, art and memes go together like good old peanut butter and jelly.
Of all the elite meme categories, this is one of our favorites. We're glad to live in a digital age where everything is so accessible. Memes have evolved into an entire kingdom, if you will — and 12-18 year-olds are behind it. It is an internet sensation, and memes have been distributing serotonin worldwide for quite some time now.
