memes used to be a good laugh. oh, you. i literally
first saw this memejpg on xlt, years ago. i have no official
record, but i gather it is quite old.

now, you have three floors of desperately barely paid
russians spamming out artificial memes. it was something
quirky and fun. i remember years of joking about memes:
christianity is a mind virus! but now pepe the frog is a
wedge destroying the collective frontal lobes of mankind and
i just feel this strange sense of vertigo

in any case, i want to try to decrease my meme usage. i'm
not going hardcore/vegan; i just feel memes have been
increasingly weaponized and that i should shy away from them
unless it's particularly succinct, apropos, hilarious,
histrionic, apoplectic, etc.

today, i was out in a plaza with some cow orkers, and primus
came up.

"primus sucks!" a guy says.

i had never listened to primus until the desaturating
seven
. a friend of mine just linked me "the trek" with
only comment "wait for the drop" and from then on i did
indeed want more primus. i started blabbing about it to my
current roommates, who were not really in on that i'd never
heard primus before and i really only knew the littlest bit
yet

"primus sucks" someone says

"what? no? they're really good"

i do not get that it is a meme. eventually, someone has
mercy on me, and explains: "it's a joke. we say 'primus
sucks' because they so clearly don't"

sort of a crusty 90s hangovy trollover

but, then, enter thot control, politics; pepe the frog.
depressing
