A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I'm old enough to recognize the phrase, but I've long since forgotten the source. 💀
Galaxy Quest
I don't want to alarm you, but Galaxy Quest is a 90's movie
Holy shit dude that's crazy
No it's not! Galaxy Quest is from, at most, 7 years ago, and I'm not old! My knees hurt because I have too much youth in them!
By Grabthar's Hammer... What a savings.
Come on, Galaxy Quest is only... 24 years old. God damn.
It still holds though! It doesn't look a 90's movie. Like Starship Troopers it's got a "could have been made any year" quality
The Wii is retro gaming. Let that sink in.
I think my mind is frozen in time, because the line for what is "retro" to me is solidly between the transition from 2D to 3D.
The day I added a GameCube to my retro setup was the day I accepted everyone gets old eventually.
I work with people who haven't even seen fucking Ghostbusters.
It's a painful existence to feel this old, but I console myself with the knowledge that most of them will be renting until they're about 60.
Jesus, I know we're getting to be bitter curmudgeons, but that's just sadistic.

"He's old, get him!"
You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
I'll have what she's having
We had a teacher make a "Bueller? Bueller?" reference once. You could see her die inside when we didn't laugh.
It's not like we didn't get it, it just wasn't funny. I don't know if that would have made it worse for her.
Hey, before the internet, "memes" had to last for a long time. She's just showing off how environmentally conscious she is by not throwing that one out yet.
Me pointing out that one character from world war z that uses a crowbar as weapon looks like Gordon Freeman, the whole class not understanding at all.
What?! He's that guy, based on that character played by Charlie Sheen. In that movie with the antagonist from Time Cop.
"I'd buy that for a dollar!"
I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
Your winnings, sir
Works the other way around too. If you're the only one in the room actually keeping up with pop culture, because everyone else is just too old to care.
Being a boomer is a mental state, change my mind lmao.
I'm not even old but I like watching older stuff. In my college, whenever I try to reference Seinfeld or IT Crowd nobody gets it.
Both of those hold up so well too. Just good comedy.
that's the stuff that dreams are made of
