@cawlliflower Many memes these days tend to be topical, or more so emerge topically in regards to the internet as a wider group of subcultures, but I guess in the case of many memes my issue comes in the manner and speed in which they evaporate as cultural commodities. Their tiredness comes as quickly as their rawness, and the cultural economy of their existence becomes invoking said existence for its own sake. So for as much as their spontaneity enriches communicative cultural spaces, it also limits them.
