20 Relatable Memes in the Form of Starter Packs, Illustrating Funny Archetypes

If you've ever scrolled through Reddit, chances are you have come across a starter pack. It's basically an internet meme that is created with the purpose of describing and/or illustrating a stereotypical person, place, culture, object, or opinion. Shoutout to Wikipedia for that lovely description. Some memes get old quickly, but starter packs capture universal truths that never go out of style. 

It's the reason the online community r/starterpacks is bustling with business, encouraging thousands of users to scroll mindlessly through the sub every day. Because these series of multi-panel photo sets that are meant to illustrate certain archetypes are timeless. For example, if you grew up in the 90s, then it's likely your eyes will light up at the sight of Rollerblades, an Arcade, Blockbuster, and good old plaid flannel shirts.

While if you grew up a bit earlier, you would relate more to the final character reveal of Darth Vader while trying to perfect your Moonwalk. When you put all these relatable things together and stamp a title on it, you've got yourself a starter pack. Scroll down for some of the best we've found this week. You can also check out these coworker memes if you're the kind of employee with one foot out the door.
