It’s the tenth post! As it brings the end of this series of Internet memes, I want to summarise what I have written in this semester.
In Countryball, we know that Internet memes can bring the history knowledge to us with a lot of fun in the same time.
In Chuck Norris facts, we know Internet memes require some kind of “consensus”, or "unspoken understanding", to be functioned, which implies Internet memes are kinds of subcultures.
In Black Twitter, we know Internet memes can be subcultures of other bigger subcultures, even sometimes against each others.
In Two-sentence stories, Internet memes show their literary side in an extremely short form.
Below those articles written to illustrate the basis of Internet memes, I gave you guys introductions to some of most famous sites in the world, respectively. 4Chan, 9GAG, and Reddit, as places where Internet memes are born, used, and interacted, are crucially important to have thorough datas about Internet memes. To look up detailed information of those tricky memes, I found Know Your Memes for you.
