Meme Presentation
In class we had to do meme presentations, where we look up the meaning of them and how they have affected social media. Though almost all of them are full of humor (dark or light), there’s always some truth to them that makes them stand out from the rest of the jokes. It’s usually something short, sweet and to the point with memes, which make them easy to make and easy to spread around the internet. People can interchange them into their own meaning or own version of the original creation, which allows them the power to spread their side of the story or share their humor with others.
Memes have been used for political purposes too, again with the humor and truth combination that is able to spread fast and get their message out there to the common person. Memes are usually easily appreciated or understood by younger millennial, which are the ones who are easily influenced and moved. So, many are targeted towards this kind of generation or age group. People really like to laugh, so it’s not that hard to get your point across through laughter.
