I Love Internet Memes
I was perusing the intertubes this morning and I found an article about old internet memes from about ten years ago. Just a note, I usually use Digg for my perusing. The article brought up some nostalgic stuff I remember watching from when I was in high school, stuff like Homstarrunner and the GI Joe PSA’s. There were a couple on there that I hadn’t seen before and it was really neat-o to check those out, too.
What really piqued my interest was a link to keyboard cat in the articles first paragraph about some of the most current memes. I had heard of keyboard cat before, but had not yet seen the meme in action. My curiosity turned me over to Youtube and the expansive Wikipedia. Of course wiki will get you lost on its vast array of pages for quite some time. I eventually came across the mother-load of internet memes; Know Your Meme. This site is great! It breaks down every internet meme Barney-style! Crazy internet stuff I had known about for years is on there, but neat background stories are given. Stuff I haven’t been subjected to yet is on there, waiting for me to become knowledgeable about.
If you want to waste hours of your life learning the history and stories behind the internet’s most popular crazy stuff, this is the place to do it!
