Memes are so prevalent in today’s internet ecosystem that it wouldn’t be surprising to the average user that the very fabric of this so-called world wide web would be literally made of memes. You are what you eat… or consume… or… you get the point.

While you probably don’t need any proof of that, you’re gonna get it anyway with Epic Texts, a Facebook meme page that’s all about wildly funny and wholesome texts and memes. Enjoy!

    So, there’s a meme page on Facebook called Epic Texts. Its legacy points towards the idea of having shared predominantly funny texts as memes, but has since then branched out to include regular, run-of-the-mill memes too.

    The page was created just before the pandemic hit in February, 2020, and has since then accumulated a following of 54,000 people.

    And about time! Although, for the record, I'm a white person and my skin isn't that weird orange pink colour. They should make bandaids in a sort of porridge colour for couch potatoes of Northern European descent.

    If you dive deeper into the internet, you can find opinions on various forum platforms like Reddit and Quora of folks debating whether memes still have it in them.

    Face value, that’s understandable. Memes aren’t for everyone, and hence there will be people who never find it funny. Then there are others who think they have overstayed their welcome, or have run their course on the internet.

    I, autistic panda, always do this. I don't know, it seems like sometimes I am the only one that hears/sees pretty much everything, and the neurotypical folks are just not paying attention.

    One internaut pointed out that memes haven’t been funny to them ever since ca. 2018. In their post, they mentioned the likes of Ugandan knuckles, VR chat, DDLC, Logan Paul, "Pictures preceding unfortunate events," Spaget and more, which were “peak”, but nothing significant thereafter.

    Both my son and myself are doing this a lot these days as a form of comfort. He's 36 and autistic and lost his stepfather of 24 years just last year. Ever since, we've been rewatching "Bear In The Big Blue House" and movies like "Babe" over and over again. He tells me what he wants to "watch", I put it on and he grabs his Switch to play games. The background sounds are familiar and comforting.

    I "watch" or listen to them as a bedtime story and slowly slide towards an innocent dream world while I'm in a better place temporally. I'm not picky, any series before 2019 will do.

    If I need to keep track of time but am too stressed to look at a actual clock I put on a movie and just repeat it and brake my time in to movie length bits and ues various scenes as my benchmarks. Its less stressful for me. Like I say if x is not done by "this is Halloween" I need to move on to y. Then set the next benchmark until tge project is done.

    For others, memes were never really funny. One such netizen asked the question as to why and one Quorian pointed out that memes don’t have to be inherently that. They are obnoxious, rude or antagonistic, but not really funny.

    And since it’s a form of communication for some, it doesn’t have to be funny all the time. Especially with topics that are hard to verbalize, like mental health or just pure sadness.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    There are also folks, however, who have always loved memes. Even if they are now past their expiration date.

    One Redditor vented about how folks are quick to declare a meme dead and by proxy they assume it’s no longer funny. That’s not how humor works, nor is it based on objectivism. In the words of this one Redditor, “There's a video that actually explains why dead memes are still around."

    Epic Texts Report

    All jokes aside, the discussion continued elaborating what it really means for a meme to be dead. It’s not necessarily how long they lived, but rather how often people used and abused it. And since everyone experiences meme frequencies differently, everyone thus thinks certain memes are dead or not. And also funny or not.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Another Redditor also elaborated that the same applies for a number of other things. Music and fashion are prime examples as, say, people might listen to some songs on repeat, but sooner or later they might just become so meh that they could get removed from playlists. But that’s subjective experience, and otherwise doesn’t mean that something is dead per se.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    To be fair, there is a slight nuance. In reference to movies, different movies from different eras have different structures to appeal to different strokes of different folks. Say that ten times fast. Action movies, for instance, these days are significantly faster than they used to be back in the day. Memes can be subject to that too, if given enough time.

    :-) That remind me of an incident years ago when my daughter was about 6 years old. I had been made redundant and the company I (no longer) worked for did a marketing stunt at their flagship store where people could write on post-it notes and stick them to the big front window. My daughter wrote one that said, "WHY DID YOU MAKE MUMMY LOSE HER JOB?".
