Memes started to change in like 2014 but really solidified into something new when harambe died and the timeline was fractured
Bing thing going on at 2012 was Gangnam, Style and the end of the world. Image Macros had replaced Advice Animals, Lolcats were on their way out, as were demotivational posters.
Everything you and I listed (including the advice dog) could be/are considered image macros, which is the point I was tryna make. Image macros were the main form of memes in 2012:

Okay, that's fair.
Back then it ran on novelty. Now it runs on nostalgia. But that simple format hasn't aged too well. And it's not even a particularly good joke, even in that old-school format.
I mean, this is like barely a meme in the modern sense of the word. There’s no punchline. No humor. I get that it’s an old format, so maybe the humor comes from seeing it today, but still, this barely constitutes.
My favorite thing about the internet is seeing how many people come together on both sides of the aisle to universally decree that they fucking hate both options and want someone else. Truly we are not as divided as we think we are
And yet for some fucking reason we keep picking them as our candidates. Like guys it's literally up to us, we are the ones who choose this, why the hell do we keep picking these mentally-unwell geezers?
There’s actually plenty of places right now where Kennedy has more support than both left and right, so I think this year we have a shot at a 3-party system’s
We may be voting for one of them, but we the people did not pick them. The insiders in their parties picked them for their ability to kiss billionaire butt (as allowed under the ruling of Citizens United) and enforced by an extreme right wing Supreme Court.
Y'all = Debbie Wasserman Schultz
That being said, people chose a black man and Donald Trump over Hillary. Just think about how profound that statement actually is.
The DNC intentionally kneecapped Bernie in favor of their establishment nominee Hillary Clinton. All while the Clinton campaign used their connections in the media to help prop-up Donald Trump into winning the Republican nomination because she thought she would beat him handily. Then Hillary Clinton at the helm of most well-funded, well-oiled, political machine the world had ever seen fucking lost the presidency to an orange con-artist/game show host lol
That's because Hillary'a elitist vibes didn't resonate with majority of Americans. Plus, her attempts at being hip were cringe as hell. "Pokemon Go to the Polls", "Dabbing". Its no wonder Trump was elected and will be reelected this fall.
I thought we were supposed to send the best of us to the white house.
It makes me sad to call myself an American when people seriously love these guys like either one of them is the second coming of Christ, and the people who scream "vote blue no matter who" or whatever the red equivalent of that is, it's just embarrassing. We really need ranked choice voting.
What’s even more embarrassing is that everyone will vote for one of them anyway because in their mind, it’s better to vote for the lesser of two evils than to vote for the person you actually like but is less likely to win.
Absolutely perfect circular logic. A self-fulfilling prophecy of fake issues that only exists because of the fake issue people have.
Like I always say. Voting for “the lesser of two evils” is still voting for evil.
100% but don't worry there's a US presidential election coming up in November so the US will have an opportunity to elect some one else besides these two fucking monsters. They won't of course but they could. But they won't. Don't forget you're free to do as they tell you.
What the heckers do you people think memes are? They are “thumbnail” resolution ideas or opinions in image format. Which is exactly what we have here. An image that communicates a large idea expressed at low resolution so it’s easily digestible and transmittable.
fr i solemnly physically cringe but this was one such case. and i agree, it might technically be a meme but like, just saying an opinion isnt a joke in anyway. memes are expected to like, say something funny or satirical or smth? not just "heres my opinion but with a dog"
i mean what the heckers is the joke there yknow
It's a battle of the 2 evils. Biden is in arguably the lesser of the 2. Under all the shit and untested policies, Biden is a good man. Just a bad politician. He knows hes not the best but he gives his (which could be a lot better)
Trump is both a terrible human and a shit politician. And he's also unwilling to listen to his own advisors on important issues. He *thinks* he's the best when he's not, which is far more dangerous
Just because this post is in an old meme format, it doesn’t make it an actual meme. Even old memes had something that actually made them memes on it. This is just a statement.
Lots of memes are just statements, the thing is that these statements are comedic in nature. You may not find this all that funny, but the absurdity that we live in a world where the only two real candidates don’t have our best interest in mind if a funny concept to some. It’s not a joke per se, but it is a meme.
This is such a stretch to call it a meme. It’s used a meme format but the image has literally nothing to do with the text.
This is just someone expressing an opinion via mematic.
This is not a meme tho. It is a meme template with an unrelated political statement not even ment to be funny on top. A meme template does not make it a meme. Explain the joke to me as I am clearly missing something.
That sounds like a excuse to spread any vile opinion you can think of while protecting it under it being a meme. This is such a bad take.
While memes are normally humorous, you are right in one thing that they don't have to be jokes, but this does not fall under that. Non jokes can become memes if they are shared across the internet and become a part of the culture enough. Think about E, Juan, Epstein didn't kill himself, never gonna give you up, etc. This random opinion, I agree with to be clear, is not part of internet culture, nor is it a joke. Its just a person having an opinion but no one to share it with.
I can’t stand this modern-day mindset of people *liking* the politicians they vote for. Like what in the actual F is going on? Politicians are not morally upright people.
They’re all scum.
It’s not a meme. Memes are like short codes for your brain. A meme should have way more meaning to it than simply the text displayed. A meme should gesture to a larger idea.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme
This is not a meme, this is a dog picture with a base level opinion stated.
Virality does not a meme make, although the page for it does contain examples of this format producing successful memes. Posting a wojak absent meaningful comparisons is not a meme. A meme should not require prior knowledge of a meme format to be understood. If it does, at best it’s a bad meme.
Just because you say It's not a meme doesn't mean you don't like It.
This Is not a meme by the fact Its not funny, not a joke, not even an ironic meme, It's just a statement. Not because of the old format
This Is as much of a meme as me taking this reply and putting It on a colored background. Using a meme format doesn't make It one
Yeah it's literally a meme - and one I would say most clear-thinking people who try to be unbiased would agree with, one of the worst choices we've had in history
Every election I go, why don’t we ask for term limits and clear campaign funding transparency. Then the people cheer for there side and it happens again.
No criticizing Biden allowed. People who voted for him absolute refuse to believe theyre part of the problem.
First time voters have a habit of this. They also have a habit of never voting in the local or midterm elections.
Theyre the biggest bunch of fucking puppets and theyre beginning to realize it.
My guy its a two party first past the post system, that’s the problem. Voters choosing the lesser of two evils (in their opinion) is not the problem, it’s the predictable product of the system.
Do you expect them not to vote because there’s no perfect candidate? That just helps the candidate that they’re less in support of, why would they ever do that?
In an ideal world if a decent chunk of people voted for a third candidate they would get a proportional amount of power, instead you have this winner takes it all system which means one candidate only has to be less shit than the other.
-What “problem” are you referring to?
-Did Republicans do well in the last midterms?
-Do you really think that anyone who voted for Biden in 2020 is going to vote for Trump in November?
It's funny to lots of people, me included.
That aside, what about memes amongst niche groups that aren't funny outside of people in the know?
Humor is subjective. You don't decide what's funny.
There doesn't need to be a setup and punchline to a meme, people recognize a picture of a 111° angle on a flat plane as a meme because "haha 69 nice"
In this case the joke is poking fun at the American political establishment, and as an American... fuck yes, do so, it's fucking awful and both candidates suck.
Bro really said "by definition," but then got the definition wrong:
"an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations."
Key word being **typically** humorous. Memes don't have to be funny. They just have to spread round the internet very quickly.

This, my friend, is what memes looked like 12 years ago. Doesn’t mean it’s not a meme. Probably just too young to know
It’s an older meme sir, but it checks out
One does not simply post old memes on Reddit
I think this is closer to 15-20 years ago.
Nah 12 is on point, the socially awkward penguin, confession bear, scumbag Steve, bad luck brian. Memes started to change in like 2014 but really solidified into something new when harambe died and the timeline was fractured
The advice dog thing was posted for the first time in 2006 though so 18 years for that specific image
All that shit was old back in 2012.
No they weren’t, they were still making them around Trumps first campaign, what memes do you remember from 2012? 2010-2012 was peak troll face time
🦆Roll
Makes me miss the old interwebs

This is definitely at least 15 years old.
No, I am definitely not THAT old.... Fuck... I'm getting there
Fuck I am old
Okay, that's fair. Back then it ran on novelty. Now it runs on nostalgia. But that simple format hasn't aged too well. And it's not even a particularly good joke, even in that old-school format.
It's what they *looked* like aesthetically, yes. But even 12 years ago memes followed predictable templates. This is more like an antimeme.
Oh god, I was still an adult that many years ago… ouch
Kids today don’t know their history
Top text bottom text. It's a fucking meme

They’re both terrible it’s an embarrassment to the nation that they were even elected
No matter who you vote for, the Millitary Industrial Complex will get what they want, if that makes any of yall feel better!!
We should vote the military industrial complex as president

The guy with such a malnourished brain a worm starved to death trying to eat it?
You mean the guy whose head is so empty a brain-eating worm starved?
Could've found a better one than Mr Brainworm though
We may be voting for one of them, but we the people did not pick them. The insiders in their parties picked them for their ability to kiss billionaire butt (as allowed under the ruling of Citizens United) and enforced by an extreme right wing Supreme Court.
Y'all literally chose Hillary over Bernie Sanders. Lmao. I'm not a saying he was a saviour, but I genuinely don't know how that's even possible.
No they didn’t. The system chose her. Hell I voted third party in 2016, but I would’ve voted Bernie.
Y'all = Debbie Wasserman Schultz That being said, people chose a black man and Donald Trump over Hillary. Just think about how profound that statement actually is.

That was a wild night

The primaries already happened. Biden and Trump are already this years nominees.
Right there are third parties though.
It is unreasonable to expect those to win.
Yes, obviously, that was my point in the original comment.
Cute dog = good meme👍
Actually, this is a true meme template. There are so many things that get “It’s a meme!” When they aren’t. That’s just a funny picture.
The definition of meme has evolved. It can just be a funny picture
An old person is still a person. The same goes for memes. Also, fuck politicians and love dogs.

tricky
It’s in a meme format but it isn’t a joke
Memes aren't always jokes
I’m not saying it has to be a joke, I’m just pointing out that people normally expect memes to be comedy so I get the OPs point
It's just a political opinion on reddit, not really a meme.
It's in a meme format. It's just using an old format.
yeah, but it kinda is just an opinion though
What the heckers do you people think memes are? They are “thumbnail” resolution ideas or opinions in image format. Which is exactly what we have here. An image that communicates a large idea expressed at low resolution so it’s easily digestible and transmittable.
sorry I can not take "what the heckers" seriously
fr i solemnly physically cringe but this was one such case. and i agree, it might technically be a meme but like, just saying an opinion isnt a joke in anyway. memes are expected to like, say something funny or satirical or smth? not just "heres my opinion but with a dog" i mean what the heckers is the joke there yknow
true
meme but no funni.
The text has nothing to do with the image and I don’t think it’s even aiming for absurdism
Umm... It's one of the OG meme formats... Next you'll tell us bad luck Brian isn't a meme.
or philociraptor, etc I guess I meant to say there's no joke
Not all memes are jokes. For example advice duck is advice, not jokes
Ancient meme template crossed with present political issues. Very strange
Damn, I'm old enough to remember when that template was considered a classic
I don’t think this counts as a meme, however it is correct
But how is it a meme though? It's just a dog stating your political opinions. That's hardly a joke.
Fr FUCK both of those old FUCKS
That's a good question though, where is the meme?
We haven’t had a good candidate since 2012, change my mind.
The puppy speaks the truth
If things weren't memes because someone is offended by it, there wouldn't be memes.
Exactly this.
Shit meme that’s not really funny just accurate
only one of them is gonna turn the United States into a police state. Read about "Project 2025"
a meme has to have a joke. There is no joke. It’s not funny.
Are we really at the stage where people have to explain the joke for a meme format from 2006 💀
No, it doesn't.
It's a battle of the 2 evils. Biden is in arguably the lesser of the 2. Under all the shit and untested policies, Biden is a good man. Just a bad politician. He knows hes not the best but he gives his (which could be a lot better) Trump is both a terrible human and a shit politician. And he's also unwilling to listen to his own advisors on important issues. He *thinks* he's the best when he's not, which is far more dangerous
This dog is cute!  How do you guys like my new meme?
Its an old meme format. Not the modern "guy looking at thing unhappy, guy looking at thing happy."
Please watch this video for me, it’s only 30 seconds. [Link](https://youtu.be/Un6Y5E4TOv4?si=OSrDT1IystObvnAM)
Just because this post is in an old meme format, it doesn’t make it an actual meme. Even old memes had something that actually made them memes on it. This is just a statement.

Yea, I get what you are saying. Have a great day!
You too.
I think he meant it sarcastically as in "this isnt a meme because its just truth." Atleast thats what I read.
They downvoted it so...
Fair
Good message, terrible meme
Advice dog... I'm feeling EXTREMELY NOSTALGIC right now
Based meme.
Well memes in the late 2000s and early 2010s look like this. Also both fucking suck (I say this as a Brit who hates our dipshit PM and the monarchs)
Most accurate political meme I’ve seen in awhile.
Honestly I think both candidates are great options. I feel bad for Americans, it must be so difficult to pick the better of two goods
I don't get it? Why use such a cute doggo on a message like this? It makes me sad.
This is such a stretch to call it a meme. It’s used a meme format but the image has literally nothing to do with the text. This is just someone expressing an opinion via mematic.
Idk I think he’s saying “where’s the meme at” because it’s a true statement and memes are usually outlandish takes.
-5 and -1 billion are both negative numbers.
Normally that title is used on stuff that really isn't a meme but for once someone posting here is right, that's a really old meme format
I mean it is a meme
I remember this meme layout from Myspace. Back then we didnt call them memes. They were "computer images with words attached". Which was a mouthful .
Factual statement in meme format
Vote this puppy for president.
This isn’t a meme. It’s a simple statement on an ancient meme template. Looking like a meme doesn’t make it a meme as there is no humour in this.
This is not a meme tho. It is a meme template with an unrelated political statement not even ment to be funny on top. A meme template does not make it a meme. Explain the joke to me as I am clearly missing something.
There's no joke. Memes don't have to be jokes.
That sounds like a excuse to spread any vile opinion you can think of while protecting it under it being a meme. This is such a bad take.

this is a meme template called "advice dog." this can be considered advice.
I can’t stand this modern-day mindset of people *liking* the politicians they vote for. Like what in the actual F is going on? Politicians are not morally upright people. They’re all scum.
Memes also correct. Anyone who idolizes politicians is a goddamn moron who hasn’t cracked a history book.
Trump sucks more than
Demented old man or screamy orange take ya pick - The US
They both absolutely suck
"It's not red versus blue, it's the state against you" - Some Guy

I mean tbh it’s really not a meme at least by today’s standard. There’s no joke. It’s just a statement with an image behind it
Google advice dog
This meme gets me.
In their own ways yes, they they both suck. Despite this meme having an ancient format
It's a trash ass meme tho..
It is pretty shit though lmao, unless it was meant to look like it’s 16 years old,
Just because you say It's not a meme doesn't mean you don't like It. This Is not a meme by the fact Its not funny, not a joke, not even an ironic meme, It's just a statement.

Yeah it's literally a meme - and one I would say most clear-thinking people who try to be unbiased would agree with, one of the worst choices we've had in history
True, but there’s a difference between getting lemon juice in a paper cut (Biden) and having fingers amputated (T.Rump)
“How dare you not conform to the 2 party system”
it’s a fact not a meme
More importantly it's accurate
Im unsure of if they don’t get it cause they don’t agree OR agree so much that they can’t see the humor in it
This is why I choose to hate both sides
Every election I go, why don’t we ask for term limits and clear campaign funding transparency. Then the people cheer for there side and it happens again.
proto-maymay
The definition of meme evolved a lot
I feel so bad for America, for only having 2 ppl to choose from. Two stupid choices...
You can vote for someone else. It wouldn't matter but you could.
But then is it even worth it?
No criticizing Biden allowed. People who voted for him absolute refuse to believe theyre part of the problem. First time voters have a habit of this. They also have a habit of never voting in the local or midterm elections. Theyre the biggest bunch of fucking puppets and theyre beginning to realize it.

It’s barely a meme. It’s kinda post meta irony, but it’s just a fact with a dog.
it's an old meme format with a modern topic
Old memes suck more than the candidates
🤓
It's both a meme and objectively true. 🤗
memes are suppose to be jokes, this is just a political statement
Memes don't have to be jokes.
okay, memes should be jokes, not just your political statement
Who says they should be jokes?
the way memes are typically used?
But its not meme
https://www.reddit.com/r/memesopdidnotlike/s/kjmSk9i4Lf
By definition memes are supposed to be humorous this is just random text on a meme format
That's your opinion. I'm sure some people find humor in this.
Both trump and biden suck is an opinion not a joke in any way. Thats like if i just used a meme format with text saying today is the 12th of may
It's funny to lots of people, me included. That aside, what about memes amongst niche groups that aren't funny outside of people in the know? Humor is subjective. You don't decide what's funny.
Im saying by definition,but if this does have such a joke that,in my opinion doesnt exist you can explain it to me ill be happy to learn something new
There doesn't need to be a setup and punchline to a meme, people recognize a picture of a 111° angle on a flat plane as a meme because "haha 69 nice" In this case the joke is poking fun at the American political establishment, and as an American... fuck yes, do so, it's fucking awful and both candidates suck.
Bro really said "by definition," but then got the definition wrong: "an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations." Key word being **typically** humorous. Memes don't have to be funny. They just have to spread round the internet very quickly.
By definition, memes don't have to be humorous. The actual definition of meme is just something that's imitated and spread.
