Over the years, it has garnered a truly massive following. At the time of writing, a jaw-dropping 3 million Instagram users follow the page for their daily doses of comedy.
Memes can be considered a type of folklore. In the case of the times we live in, it’s digital folklore. They’re a way to tap into the collective conscience of humanity as a whole. Some memes, just like humor itself, can transcend cultural and even language barriers. Sometimes, a simple image of a relatable situation or a cute or derpyanimalis enough to connect people from very different backgrounds.
AsBBC Futurepoints out, memes aren’t just about light entertainment—even though that’s what many people think of when they hear the word. Memes are a form of communication and a language in themselves. In short, they’re visual content that can connect people, help folks express themselves, and even promote or undermine social or political causes.
How strongly a meme resonates with us depends on how relatable we find it. Memes about topics that affect many of us (work issues, food, raising pets, parenting,mental health, etc.) are going to have a stronger impact than images about niche interests or opinions. The more relatable we find a meme, the more likely we are to share it with our social circle. And then, the image goes viral.
One studyfrom 2013 found that internet content that sparks a strong emotional response makes it more likely to be shared. The stronger the emotions, the greater the likelihood of the content being shared and reshared. However, the types of emotions do matter. For example, folks have a greater intent to spread humorous content than something that is cute, disgusting, or induces anger.
According to clinical psychologist Dr. Kanan Khatau Chikha, people need love, self-esteem, and security.She told Vicethat it’s because of human beings’ need to belong that they relate to memes so much. In short, memes create a sense of identification that makes us feel like we’re part of a bigger social group.
Standing out can mean different things for different creators. It might mean putting a lot of additional effort into the visual aspects of the memes. For example, you could use high(er)-quality photos. Or you could switch up the color palette and format a bit so that you’re not doing exactly the same thing as all the other giant accounts.
