When you hear the word "meme," what's the first thing that pops into your head? I can almost guarantee you it's not the hottest newest meme that's just been reported on Know Your Meme today. It's probably some lame image macro that hasn't been relevant since at least 2012, and even back then, it was pushing it. It's kind of wild to think that the only memes that stick with us for a long time are the dead horses that got beaten years ago. I remember when "the dress" happened; it was all anyone could talk about for a whole month! These days, we're lucky if a meme is relevant for more than 36 hours. That's why it's unsurprising that when a group of millennials attended a meme-themed birthday party, they all more or less dressed up as memes from 2018 and earlier. Gen Z Twitter users subsequently gave them grief for their slightly dated choices.
