There was an extinction event and Wojak evolved to fill in the ecosystem's niches.

Also pepes. I swear, pepes were JUST ABOUT to go away, and then Twitch of all places added pepes as default emotes and gave brain rot to a whole generation. Basically an invasive species being brought everywhere.

I think I prefer the old FFFFUUUU, Derp, Close enough and trollface. The rest, I don't mind :P

Aha see you are wrong because I grew up with the rage comics and now they are forever cringe so that means you are factually and objectively wrong good day sir

I prefer the old ones the new ones just remind me of those stupid NFT monkeys.

this explains so much

i always thought the new ones looked weird, but i could't quite put my finger on "why" lol

Memes nowadays: edgy, post-ironic nihilism that portrays the current state of society and its flaws

Memes then: simple and lighthearted fun

Let's just bring them back then

It's been tried. It's not the same.

You need a new meme face family thing.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Just don't be a dick.
