Older memes were more simple, meant to be weird and bizarre cause it was different from what people were used to getting from traditional media like magazines and TV... Try not to overthink it.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
