Just because a meme is born doesn’t mean it’s born dank. Memes have to earn their spot just like humans and can’t skyrocket in culture and become dank. Memes are essence and without them most would die. Some memes can be born cancerous and others can become the DANKEST of all time. For instance Italian memes were okay but now they are Normie. In Memeology, Normie=Dead. End of story. Others are already born Normie and dead like “Cash Me Outsside!” Was already born dead and in that case is like a Biohazard of dead memes. There are meme stages. Stage one is usually Reddit or 4Chan, this is where a meme is born (the dank ones). Stage two is either ifunny (a middle ground) and twitter (start of normie trash). If a meme is born inside a normie area i.e. Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook or any non-meme site the meme usually isn’t considered a meme and is hated by memeologists like myself or used ironically. A meme born from 4chan or Reddit is usually going to become very dank and very respectable (Pepe). Some memes never die because of how dank they are. Pepe has GOD level dankness and is worshiped by those who love him and respect him. Although there are places like ifunny where real memers and normies abound. This can cause unsettling disputes and may even lead to the death of a meme. Leaking memes from a safe environment is a very bad thing to do. This usually happens when a good quality meme is leaked to normies and is killed by them. Most normie memes are forced and have such a high level of cringe they are hard to talk about. Unless you are a normie and are unaware of this. For example most normies will continue to use a dead meme WAY after it’s dead. This is then called a forced meme (Harambe). This is all that I have if anyone would like to add you my “meme theory” please do so in the comments.
