    Actually, the first meme yet to be found was published by The Wisconsin Octopus magazine back in the 1919-1920. Also, the reason why the term “genetically” was mentioned in the definition is because , and as argued by Richard Dawkins (1976) in his book the Selfish Gene, memes and genes are similar in the ability to replicate, but different in other aspects. One last thing, Dawkins was the first one to create and use the term MEME.

This directive is a massive threat to memes and other fair use content, as it will force most websites to install automated copyright filters that may block any detected copyrighted content regardless of context. Please help spread the word and more importantly, contact your local MEPs to reject the Copyright Directive, especially Article 13. Thanks for the PSA now back to memes.

      imo memes were originally used for a quick laugh/quick understanding between communities, generally where only people in said community would understand- so with that in mind, memes themselves have died since they're so oversaturated now.
      e.g. memes making fun of normies is ironic
