There’s some stupid zoomers who think that macro images are what memes are and they have zero concept of memetic epidemiology. A meme is an idea that spreads via a simple means of expression. That’s it. It’s containerized thought.
Niave means you haven’t been taught something. This is the world they were born into. They cannot understand a world without the internet, nor cell phones.
Stupid is when you’re taught something, and you cannot grasp it.
Very few young people seek out concepts they don’t understand, and even fewer seek out concepts they don’t know if it exists.
Information being out there, and them having seen it aren’t the same thing. Who taught all the zoomers these things? Did you know that the reason most fast food besides McDonalds has Pepsi and not Coke is because at various times in history Pepsi would buy different fast food businesses, before making them exclusively Pepsi, and selling the brand?
That information is out there…but did you ever see it?
Or what about the myth that Coca Cola the soft drink DIDN’T originally contain cocaine, and also didn’t start off as what we think of as a soft drink. It started off as an unregulated medicine for indigestion, with extracts from the Coca plant. But at no time did a carbonated cola with cocaine ever get sold to the public.
I’m a 46 yo French dude and still throw an unexpected “Wazzuuuuppp” on phone from time to time just to keep that vibe going. It was as stupid as innocent. An hymn to my past youth and a rallying call for generations to come.
“waaaaahh it’s not a proper meme weaaahhh”
Let’s just save some time here.
What is a proper meme anyways?
In the 90s we had a meme.
“WAZZZZUUUUPPPPP!!!”
And everybody did it, as they danced the macarana, and ate that taco bell dog…wait…

I would call them niave zoomers.

They’ve been taught. The information is all there.

That information is out there too.
They’re on the internet all day, with memes everywhere. Understanding what a meme is, is as simple as looking down to find one’s shoelaces are untied.
So is that a myth or is that a myth?
No. Yes. Maybe. Can neither confirm nor deny.
Thank you! Yes. I feel seen.
Are you a meme?

It was more a 2000s thing as the ad campaign stretched from 99 to 02
Edit: and I confirmed that it started at the end of December 1999
fun fact, the 90s ended around the early 2000s
"In the 90s we had [something that didn’t exist before December 20th 1999]”
2000s began with Bush v Gore
“And it’s not political but common sense”
