Hello all you gentlemen.
Le me looking at this post
Relive the old days on !antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world
You misspelled “image macros.”
Yeah my first thought was that those aren’t memes, they are the “guidance” I guess. The words are the message, the background sets the tone. Bad luck Brian isn’t the meme, he’s what sets the stage that lets you know the tone for the hook.
If someone says: "Toenail needs cutting
Kick a brick wall"
Youd be like okay that’s excessive … but you put chaos wolf behind it and your like, I shouldve expected that
I stared at this for 5 minutes trying to figure out if it was loss or not.
The thing about this though, is that before the advice dog and the impact font era, memes had a lot more variety. To me, this was watered down normie shit.
Why is philosoraptor crying?
Those aren’t tears, it’s a face tattoo. They were all the rage back then in the before times. Example A:

Example B:
I have the same question. Is this how my dad feels when he sees an aftermarket part on a classic car?
Pretty sure we’re all crying these days
3! My sweet child, I was 30 at the time.
This post is giving me psychic damage
what was up with the multicolor haxagonal-ish backgrounds?
It’s just how they were. That’s like asking “why are they all screenshots underneath plain text on a white background?” re memes now.
well easy answer. cause its easy to make, and the white background ensure text readability that may be lost if overlayed on the meme itself.
It was the style at the time.
Like wearing an onion on your belt.
It’s the hallmark of the “Advice Animals” category of memes.
Advice Animals […] are a type of image macro series featuring animals […] that are accompanied by captioned text to represent a character trait or an archetype that fits the role of a “stock character”. While many Advice Animals use a color wheel background, some use unedited versions of the original photo.
Now trying to turn this into a PCM

Here I was thinking these examples were new age memes from the post Reddit era
