If you scroll through these memes and think, "this person has no idea what Gen Z humor is." You are probably right. I am techincally what the internet calls a "zillennial," but I grew up full millennial. So I was there when the dark arts of "doggo" and "live, laugh, love" were the height of humor. Heck, I even remember seeing Shrek in theaters. And for all you Gen Z, yes, it was weird growing up with Shrek being released the same year 9/11 happened… Anyways, as a "zillennia" I sometimes try to test myself to see which group I tend to lean toward. Though it's usually millennial, I still like to dive into what the kids are LMAOing to on the internet these days. Millennial is the generation that invented memes, so naturally we are interested in the cultural phenomena's evolution. So if you're a Gen Z and are thinking I have totally missed the mark with these memes, sorry, not sorry (respectfully). But they had me LOLing and I hop they'll get you ROFL too with all their rizz. On god.
