Sometimes things just go viral

Yeet— there’s a dance that accompanies it, so that is/was popular. The saying “yeet” is kind of used as an exclamation of excitement. Example: I’m playing s game of pickup basketball and I hit a three-point shot, so I exclaim, “Yah YEET!” As I gloat.

Moth lamp— we all know that moths are drawn to light. So mothlamp memes just play on that fact but kind of cast moths as desperately NEEEEEEDING a lamp, doing anything to get to a lamp, etc. I’ve also found that these memes tend to play on other memes to be funny. I think they’re funny :shift

Hi, welcome to Chili’s is old! Like three years old. It based on a vine of a dude walking into the bathroom and saying, “hi, welcome to chili’s” while wearing only his boxer shorts. I don’t understand why it went viral and is funny, but it did.

Vines and memes are an important part of pop culture and an important element of communication among our young people. They provide a common language, almost, and they can be referenced by our teens or alluded to in conversations. Since everyone knows them, referencing a popular meme or vine is an instant way to bond with people or show that you’re up-to-speed on your pop culture.

As an aside, Vine is not as popular now as it was a few years ago.

If you just google examples of all of these, you can kind of get a better understanding for the nuances of them. Also if you hang out with teens a lot
