Memes are part of the fabric of the internet. Why do we keep coming back to them?

If you've been on the internet for quite a while, then odds are you have feelings about memes. Maybe you've seen how they've evolved over time, and you've witnessed that change happen over the course of your own life. They used to be so simple. There were a few characters that we all recognized and could use them to illustrate relatable scenarios. If you saw Bad Luck Brian's face, you knew that there was some amount of comic misfortune going on. If you saw a Troll face, you knew that mischief was afoot. And who can forget the first time they got Rick Rolled? It's a perfect, innocent, wonderful prank. But the internet has come a long way from that type of meme.

With the expansion of the internet, it can seem like everything has gotten bigger and more complicated. There are hardly any universal memes anymore. We're all in the echo chambers of our own algorithms, and we only hear what we would like to hear, or what might outrage us the most. Maybe a news story will come around that we can all rally around, like the Coldplay cheating scandal, but those are few and far between. Plus, that's not really a meme, is it? It's more of a pop culture news phenomenon that plays out online. But we here at Memebase have not stopped embracing memes. We still think there's a lot of juice to squeeze there, and we're going to make the most of it. After all, memes aren't really going anywhere. People still feel compelled to make them, and we still feel compelled to share them with our friends. Whose day can't be enlivened by someone sharing a meme that they thought they would like? It's always a good idea. Why? Because they make us feel seen. They make us feel like we're not alone, and that we're going through a universal human experience together. Sometimes being seen can feel scary, but when it's wrapped up in the safe package of a meme, you know you can take it. And when you find out that a thing you thought was particular to your own experience was actually a thing that many people feel, you breathe a sigh of relief. That's what the best comedy does. And that's what these memes are here to do for you today.
