A collection of memes for those who delight in randomness and see the beauty in the absurd

Just yesterday, while I was scrolling through Instagram, I realized that part of what I liked about that experience was not knowing what could come next. One moment I was in tears laughing at a SpongeBob meme, and the next I was in tears due to a really insightful caption written over a blurry, absurd, scenic background. I wasn't sure whether it was supposed to make me laugh or cry, so I did both, ok?.

The Internet keeps giving us an incredibly bizarre curation of situations, images, and concepts, and sometimes, the only way to honour that velocity and the way it makes every concept rapidly evolve into millions of micro-concepts and evolutions, is to make an absurd meme list that doesn't follow any pattern.

To put it bluntly, I want to recreate the same feeling I had scrolling yesterday in the readers of this post. Dank memes thrive on unpredictability; they derive their power from it, and we have to reach a specific state of confusion to be able to appreciate them in all their splendor.

I've always admired how some meme creators have the deepest, most specific insights on feelings and life situations, and how they manage to express those using very basic (or none) design skills. It's fascinating that a pixelated image can convey a very specific feeling anger or disillusionment- just like distortion in music can.

I believe we've naturalized this, but it is a rather sophisticated process in which we've learnt to communicate a nugget of information, including feelings, thoughts, and desires, very quickly to one another. And it's always interesting to realize how many people around the world relate to a feeling we thought very private.

So this collection is dedicated to the lost art of 'lack of organisation', and its aesthetic beauty and value. So forget about consistency, expect the unexpected, and hope for the best. The only thing these memes have in common is that they were created to make people laugh, even if they don't understand why they're laughing or what they're laughing about.

Why do we, chaos lovers, have to define ourselves by what we aren't? We aren't organised; we aren't consistent. What if we truly appreciate the lack of organisation? And what if it's not a failure to organise ourselves, but an acquired taste for the uncertain? Who knows…
