Hello again, I’m glad all five of you who managed to find this article have decided to join me once again for the third installment in the meme chronicles. As the holidays approach and winter sets in, families and friends are unified through holiday cheer. And what better to bring us all together than memes.
This is a seemingly laughable statement and rightfully so, it is a bit of a ridiculous idea. But if you’ll allow me a few minutes of your time, I’ll explain.
Memes are not individualistic. Once a meme is created and has some value to it, it is screenshotted, reposted, upvoted, parodied and reshared across the vast expanses of the internet.
And unless some clout chasing meme god decides to leave a watermark, a meme is largely the property of the collective, an inside joke that any edgy teenager or depressed 20-something can enjoy together.
And that my friends is the true beauty of a meme. It is public property there are no copyrights or patents stopping you from taking a meme and sending it to all your friends, and ironically to your family.
What first started as a word so obscure that only the true denizens of the internet could comprehend its meaning has become a worldwide phenomena connecting people of different nations and cultures all made possible by you.
Now I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge a recent fatality in the collective foothill memesphere.
Unfortunately my faithful reader, a hero has fallen in our ranks; the fhsxpress account page has been deleted, a result of one ill-fated meme that brought all the others down with it.
How you may choose to feel about such an action is entirely up to you; however, it is my duty as meme chronicler to pay homage to a meme page that put all other FHS meme accounts to shame.
This article is dedicated to fhsxpress; may they find peace forever in the Elysian Fields.
