    Since Weapons Grade Memes reached 300 subs, I decided to start a series detailing recent meme conflicts to honor the many Pepes lost in our time.

    Proto-Meme Era: 2009-2014
    Irony Layers: 0-1

    Meme War Chronicles I. Since Weapons Grade Memes reached 300 subs, I decided to start a series detailing recent meme conflicts to honor the many Pepes lost in o

    Not much is remembered about the golden internet age. Meme Historians have pieced together that, for a time, there was a balance among the many communities of the internet, which were content to sit in their corners and leave each other be, barring the occasional inconsequential raid on a neighboring site. However, this came to an end with the advent of one of the first, and darkest, chapters of the history of Meme Warfare...
    The Brony Wars (2010-2012)

    Meme War Chronicles I. Since Weapons Grade Memes reached 300 subs, I decided to start a series detailing recent meme conflicts to honor the many Pepes lost in o

    Pictured: Brony Patient Zero (Oct. 25, 2010)

    Soon after releasing the accursed cancer of Bronyism, the plague soon infected every known internet community. After gaining momentum for most of 2010 and 2011, Bronies were driven out of power with bans, containment boards by a coalition of Reddit, 4chan, tumblr, funnyjunk, and many other forces. The advent of new memedical technologies to vaccinate against and treat such levels of cringe also contributed. By mid 2012, the Internet's health organization, the WHOMST had officially declared the Brony outbreak to be under epidemic levels, and Brony Cancer returned to normal background levels.

    Unfortunately, the peace did not last. Out of the fog of the Brony Wars came a new enemy:
    9gag; proliferator of ****, stealer of memes, the one who gagged on the 9 Dicks of OP - foul artifacts of faggotry.

    The 9gag Raids (2011-2012)

    Pictured: an evil sorcerer of 9gag and the foul New Troll Face (circa 2011)

    After encroaching on the territory of the 4chan tribes, as well as many other peaceful meme farmers, a pact was formed between 4chan, Reddit, and Funnyjunk, to remind 9gag that their memes were ****, and that "Le 9gag Army" was nothing compared to them.

    Despite serving with the coalition sites previously, Tumblr had decided to abstain from these raids, losing key intelligence on how to conduct raids, and losing grip over the Memes of Production.

    Pictured: Coalition forces demonstrating superior raid techniques against 9gag forces

    Within a few months, 9gag forces were brought to their knees. 4chan became unified, more well-known, and widely respected/feared. Tumblr strayed further from its former allies. Reddit became distant and gained a large mainstream following. Funnyjunk went back to eating glue in the corner.


    Tensions between 4chan and Tumblr rose considerably over the next year, boiling over into a one large conflict between the two.

    The Great Triggering (2014)

    Meme War Chronicles I. Since Weapons Grade Memes reached 300 subs, I decided to start a series detailing recent meme conflicts to honor the many Pepes lost in o

    Pictured: the event that sparked The Great Triggering (2014)
    At first, the event that caused TGT was thought to be a failed raid that Tumblr organized and conducted to "destroy 4chan", following in the footsteps of 9gag's ****** raids. However, it was later determined that these Tumblr users were coerced by and largely comprised of undercover /pol/ users. Knowing that /b/ could survive the raid capabilities of any site at the time, and knowing of Tumblr's shortcomings, the users of /pol/ decided to instigate an attack on /b/ to gain the moral high ground when "retaliating". This is considered by most meme strategists to be the first confirmed deployment of Meme Warfare tactics against another site.


    In all, the small series of raids were an overwhelming victory for 4chan. Throughout the experience, /pol/ secured a position as the future logistics hub for Meme Warfare.

    Coinciding with the (re)discovery of Meme Warfare was the emergence of Pepe the Frog's popularity. While not known at the time, the first known usage of Meme Magic in many millennia had begun the reawakening of the ancient powers of Kek and his enemies, as well as the ages-long war of Kekistan vs. Cuckistan.


    Up next: the reemergence of Meme Warfare, and the power of Kek.

    This always makes me smile. I was a 4chan refugee back when m00t cucked the entire website with new SJW mods. My last view of the website was /v/ drowning in a flood of "HE DOES IT FOR FREE" posts and bans being thrown left and right. Came here because I was sitting there at my laptop thinking, "Well, now what? I'm bored as **** and need to kill time. I wonder if Funnyjunk still exists, last time I saw it was back in like middle school."

    Came here, was surprised everything was black and not green like I remembered. First content I viewed was this .webm and I thought that this site was gay as ****.

    I mean, it is, but I haven't left it and it's treated me well enough.

    I was introduced to memes by funnyjunk. As a elementary school kid I was out on this site. I was a freshman at school and actually was sent to the principals office because the names of content set a red flag at the school.

    Principal: you were looking at a link called "average 8th grade whore"

    Me: uhh it's hard to explain I didn't search it I was clicking next and the next funny picture pops up.

    Long story short it was blocked from the school hahaha.

    Remember the pre-2009 era when memes were not used as weapons? Back when they were mainly reaction images like troll face, rage face, 'I'm sorry', etc. the types of memes that were hand drawn and mainly black and white.
    Back in those days the memes would be used very frequently and keep gaining popularity until someone would say "wait a minute this is overused and gay" then suddenly the meme was almost never used again and new ones would emerge from the shadows to take its place.
    I think these types of memes were the "golden age" of the Internet and had started mainly on 4chan and was phased out first by 4chan. I just can't remember the exact year that it started. I wanna say somewhere around 2004 but I'm not sure.
    Before that era must have been the earliest form of memes, back in pre-2000 when the memes were in their infancy. I don't know much about that age because I was a toddler but I think it was less to do with picture-based memes and more geek-like text based stuff like 5p34k1ng w1th numb3rs and saying "owned". I'm not sure if 'epic fail' was invented during those times or if that was more during the 2006 era.
    I think that's the earliest form of Internet-based memes that I can find. I know that memes as a whole dates back even further with the Americans"I want you to join the army" and stuff even further back in the past but I like to focus on the ones that were created via the Internet. Will you do a comp of the early internet meme ages?

    and the old meme format can be explained this way: a smaller population used the internet. this population was more homogeneous in the way of being nerdy, from first-world countries, and being tech savvy. Around the early 2000s, this population was largely young people (children, teens and young adults) and a result of all these factors, the early "collective mindset" of the population was more like an average user: tended to be picky about details (well edited and drawn memes), valued organization (had more rigid names and formats), smaller "everyone knows everyone" communities and child-like social dynamics (memes would be quickly abandoned as soon as being branded "gay and lame").

    conversely, the internet as a whole is hugely diverse in age, gender, geography, and has dropped on average in tech literacy - this results in memes that have "lazier" formats, memes that resurface many times, and memes that are extremely easy to edit and reuse. At the same time, the schism on the internet between the self-proclaimed original "Kekistani" and their like and the new "normies" and "SJWs", as well as the recent tensions between these groups, has bred a pseudo-nationalism in the (which may be helped by the usual nationalistic sentiment the users each tend to hold) original group: this conscious and subconscious desire to fight back against perceived and real threats toward the original culture are reflected in these new militant memes.

    another thing im adding to my list: the evolution of memes. the word itself comes from "memory" and "gene", and was coined as a "unit of cultural exchange" - i believe the sociological term for a society determining what certain values are and what is/isnt real is "Symbolic Interactionism", which I think memes are an example of.
    Since the medium through which memes travel is each of our minds, the best memes are those that can appeal to a larger portion of the population, and can be easily "mutated" or edited to allow for easy expression. And, as the population size and demographics change, so to do the values of the population, and by extent, the types of memes that propagate.

    god, I swear if I werent going for engineering id be going for sociology.
