Memes are a universal language of the internet. Not only do we share them to laugh, but also to communicate, criticize, and reflect on the current trends. Essentially, they speak of, or rather make a meme of what’s really buzzing right now: think of 2020 and 2021 memes, Squid Game memes, and Mike Pence’s fly on the head memes.
Some memes, on the other hand, refer to the things that most of us find very relatable. They identify a common experience, a feeling, and even an opinion. How come such personal things are so universal, you wonder? Well, we may not have the answers to the phenomenon, but we surely have a lot of hilarious memes of our daily lives in the hooman world to chuckle upon.
And thanks to the Instagram page “Is You Funny,” below is a whole collection of them to scroll through. According to the page’s description, it’s the “most relatable page on the gram,” and it seems like a whopping 2.7M followers would totally agree.

For real though. I miss Tupac, he would've taken out this trash years ago.
6ix9ine literally says the n word when he's not even well.. black
Load More Replies...The more I learn about Tupac the more sad I am he was taken far too soon - he comes across as a such an incredible person who really had things to say that mattered.
His whole family is amazing. Look up the book "Assata," about his godmother.
Load More Replies...2pac is a legend. The other crayon looking kid will be forgotten by the end of the year
I hear that rap was originally created to express frustrations at the social inequalities in society, but now it's just unintelligible gibberish.
It did go in that direction but I think it started as mc's hyping up the crowd while rapping over the break.

Load More Replies...As a huge rap and hip hop fan since 90’s, i stopped listening new rap songs somewhere from 2007-2010. I am rotating the good old ones, which they got something to tell you ☺️
Same, I started my teens in the 90's and the music was CLASSIC!!
Load More Replies...I had no idea Tupac had such progressive lyrics (I'm not much of a hip hop guy)
His mother was a revolutionary activist and a member of the black panthers. If you read their sources (not the nonsense that was spread about them at the time), then you'll see that the black panthers were very progressive. One of their biggest programmes was free breakfast for kids.
Load More Replies...Yup. Idiocracy got it right! Watch it if you havent seen yet... a hilarious, almost prophetic persiflage of the state of America!
How true this is! Each year we are getting closer and closer to Idiocracy being reality.
Load More Replies...I've never even heard of this Lil Pump character. He seems like an idiot who is favored by idiots. Tupac apparently respected women and had true class. By the way, I know next to nothing about rap or rappers which is why I said apparently. I didn't know that or much of anything really about Tupac before.
Try the above song, changes and hail Mary. Some of his most socially active of my favs. I got my 70 yr old mom listening to him
Load More Replies...Who or what the f**k is lil pump? German here and I don’t think that is known here
Modern rap be like: "*unintelligable* iga *unintelligable* iga *unintelligable* iga *unintelligable* iga *unintelligable* iga *unintelligable* iga f*ck you"
So by his stage name, is he trying to tell us he *has* a lil pump?
Still listen to 2Pac, but that POS, Lil Pump? No way. Closet I got to "listening" to him was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw5NG580rBk
Gucci gang can suck a toad, any one on the road. Tupac sang like a man, for that we extend our hand.
Lil. Pump is not any better than the pop music that you keep singing the hook. No message just that you are a royal DICKHEAD. not worth the time or money.
This is world of today stupid idiots who think this is talent and music ! Just total rubbish
Not a fan of rap or Tupac, but, at least he has lyrics. Today's stuff is just garbage
Labels are also responsible for what they choose to push. Most of the times you only get that big if someone's doing the constant work behind the scenes to make sure you can't go anywhere without hearing them. The internet has brought "anything goes" but I think there'll be a renaissance coming. It's brought a lot of good things as well, and the Atlantic just released data saying 70% of people are listening to old music...I think there'll be a desire for quality coming, a differentiator between bots and humanity (because AI can already make songs like Gucci Gang)
Lil Pump is no Leonard Cohen is he? I have never heard of him, I prefer rock music, but his lyrics are something that a six year old could do. Is he big on the kindergarten circuit?
It's not his fault, but those who listen this... this.. I will not call it music.
Like that other eejit 69 whats his face. Same lyrics over and over again
"pump" is what little kids call a fart in the UK... I've heard farts that sound like better music than anything "lil pump" makes tbh.
New rappers are so shallow they probably still play in the baby pool. They're the reason boys today are so entitled and rude to women.
Sexual assault. He and his friends raped a girl he was dating. He told them to do it. The woman is still in hiding her story never changed but tupacs and his entourages did many times.

Seemingly fun and lighthearted, they create a culture of unspoken referential importance by using explicit cultural knowledge, which is a big deal of its own accord. Thanks to them, it seems like there’s never a dull moment online. Today the concept of a meme has evolved into elaborate structures that can come in many forms, like challenges, videos, viral sensations, GIFs, and images with accompanying captions.
I've seen this photo a bunch I laugh every time. However, I've never seen the "before" photo and it does not disappoint.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that from a linguistic point of view, memes are incredibly sophisticated. In fact, meme creators use “multimodal grammar,” which refers to a post which has both images and captions, to express and share ideas and opinions. As soon as a meme lands on social networks, people start sharing it and add their own personal meanings to the content. That’s why there’s never a final nor single meaning of a particular meme.
That's clever, because anyone can understand it the way that comforts their own opinions.
The fact that internet memes, units of popular culture, constantly circulate, imitate and transform with the help of users, makes them so special. Limor Shifman, a scholar who specializes in the study of internet memes, believes that a meme is not a single idea or image which is spread across social sites, but a group of items that were created with awareness of each other. Think of the internet’s beloved Grumpy Cat meme. Shifman would say that it’s not the cat itself, but the whole set of memes generated with its image, which is the meme.
Dude forgot the eye patch, and the devil horns, and the ear rings, and the nose rings
On the other hand, with memes evolving so much in the past years, in some cases, they become vehicles for political messages, often used to spread aggressive or racist messages and to incite hatred. Emiliano De Cristofaro, an associate professor from UCL, has recently carried out the largest scientific study of memes to date, using a dataset of 160m images from various social networks.
“We showed how 'fringe' web communities associated with the alt-right movement, such as 4chan’s 'Politically Incorrect' board (/pol/) and Reddit’s 'The_Donald' are generating a wide variety of racist, hateful, and politically charged memes—and, crucially, spreading them to other parts of the internet,” De Cristofaro explained.
Remember when you wished you were all grown up so you could be free to do anything you'd like?
What De Cristofaro’s team found was that fringe social networks like /pol/ and Gab “share hateful and racist memes at an impressive rate, producing countless variants of antisemitic and pro-nazi memes.” Moreover, “memes like Pepe the Frog (and its variants) are often used in conjunction with other memes to incite hate or influence public opinion on world events, such as Brexit or the advance of Islamic State,” he said.
Moreover, the team at UCL found that, alarmingly, /pol/ was by far the most influential disseminator of memes, in terms of the raw number of images originating there. “In particular, it was more influential in spreading racist and political memes,” De Cristofaro said.
Just like with any other content on the internet, so with memes, users have to be aware of what kind of content they engage in, share and react to. While having a laugh at relatable memes like these ones in the post can indeed make your day brighter, encountering hateful memes is a whole other thing that’d better be reported.
Ok who took a peek into my life and exposed it in this very pithy meme
Also your phone when your partner across the room says they want to buy something
As soon as you put in that piece you turn into a raging tax evading a$$hole that would rather burn money trying to fly real high than pay their employees a living wage.
And then it becomes breakdance, salsa, work, salsa, breakdance, NEXT SONG
Come on, anyone can look good with her resources, make-up artist, cosmetic surgery and wardrobe. Bernie is just a normal ass guy.
I guess all kids enjoy both, just choose the appropriate moment to do one or the other.

It appears that my entire day can be described via a series of memes.
