A couple months ago I was hanging out with my teenage cousin and his friends. I said something funny, and a friend said "what is that a reference to?" The problem I have is that I'm expected to be "making references" and all jokes are "memes". There's barely any original comedy to the point where original jokes are misunderstood as "rare memes". I just say funny things. I'm not referencing anyone. I do like memes, but not everything is a meme.
Lol "kids these days" you're saying the same shit people have said to shit on younger generations since Aristotle. And you're calling them unoriginal.
Uhhh no? I'm 24. And the whole meme craze is driving out original comedy in favor of in-jokes. Also, I doubt Aristotle complained about tiktok memes
