Memes and Vines - help!!
OK y'all. I'm clueless. I don't know what the heck this is, and why it's funny. I've googled it, and I think these people are all on drugs or something. WHAT IS THIS???
Why is this funny/popular? WHAT exactly is it? I mean, it's a 4 second video with a guy that says "Welcome to Chili's" or "Yeet" or "Mothlamp." WHAT THE WHAT??!! I'm so confused. And I'm supposed to help my teen daughter understand this stuff because she doesn't get it either. By trying to understand this stuff, I just feel scared for the future of the world!

Re: Memes and Vines - help!!
Memes are images, vines are short videos. Vines started with an app, I think, that only allowed 6 second videos. They're just funny, I guess.
We all love funny memes. We're not in to vines. Too short to be very clever. |

Re: Memes and Vines - help!!
Well this is my basic understanding as well. I've seen good memes all over FB, but my teen tells me these aren't real memes and that I don't know what a meme is, and that they are now something different. So I feel very confused!

Re: Memes and Vines - help!!
Those are memes. Our adult memes are just much more clear than the popular teen dank memes.

Re: Memes and Vines - help!!
My 15 yo just spent ten minutes explaining, showing me things, and laughing, and I'm not any closer to being able to help you understand. My overall impression is that these things are so stupid they're funny.
ETA after reading Lisa's reply, I think it was vines she was showing me.

Re: Memes and Vines - help!!
I never got into Vines, personally, but my younger siblings LOVED them and, honestly...there is a kind of brilliance to setting a scene, establishing a set-up, and executing a joke in 6 seconds flat
Internet humor - especially memes - are significantly self-referential, so often the jokes aren't as funny unless you know that *this* is a reference to *that* which was a spin-off of *that* which was an homage to *this* and on and on. For those following the rapid ebb and flow, you get the thrill of a joke that builds on some inside knowledge (and for everyone else there's KnowYourMeme(dot)com).

Re: Memes and Vines - help!!
I know the difference and love memes but not vines.
Except it sounds like KarenBoos teen would tell me those aren't real memes and I don't know what a meme is and she would probably be right. Quote:
I have seen memes on here at GCM. For example in the flat earth thread there is a meme with a cat pushing things off of flat earth.

Re: Memes and Vines - help!!
My question is how do you pronounce "Meme"?

Re: Memes and Vines - help!!
So this is a recurring discussion here
I define meme as "a picture with a saying" so I make bible verse memes My kids say that is not a meme. That a meme is a "picture with a joke on it" or that tells a joke not just a picture with a saying. vine: is as defined above. A short 6 second video but my 18 year old just told me the "real vine app" doesn't exist anymore.

Re: Memes and Vines - help!!
The vine app is gone but there's a new one called Tick Tock that is supposedly very popular with the under 20 crowd. I guess it's all short videos and anyone can see your videos. I have no idea if it's 6 seconds like Vine was or if you can go longer. Like any social media app, it can be just for fun or really scary, depending on how savvy you are.

Pictures with a saying, I call those images because that's what they're called in the Bible app. Shows how trendy I am. |

Somethings about walking on water and a picture of a Latino dude named Jesus stepping out of a boat could be constructed as a meme. ( Not at all saying it is appropriate just the quickest example I could come up with 3 sips into morning coffee) |

Re: Memes and Vines - help!!
I've got to admit I just roll my eyes at stuff like memes and vines. It all just seems like a huge waste of time to me
