What Draco said. *nodnod* Oh, right, that one. "What is this I don't even" is just a 4chan meme that, like far too many of them, happened to circle the entire internet a few times. It was picked up along the way by at least one Templegoer, and it seems to have stuck. Not sure who was the original culprit, but I seem to recall Adnarel or Princek being amongst the early users. |

Lulz. And actually, that meme has been bugging me for a while. I don't know what the original ______ was, and it drives me crazy.

One of my mates is a big fan of 4chan, and you'd be surprised how much of this stuff originates there >_> |

Perhaps the making of a meme about Grim could be a meme in itself. |

*resorts to Wikipedia* A meme (pronounced /mi¢°m/ - rhyming with "cream"), is a postulated unit or element of cultural ideas, symbols or practices that gets transmitted from one mind to another through speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena. Essentially, if something is said that seems relevant in someway to the culture we are apart of - in this case, the Temple of Kraden - and somebody happens to remember that, then that's the start of a meme. Usually, this memory is of something amusing, and as such multiple people will pick it up and retain it. Then it'll come to mind later, they'll say it, and the spread continues. Pretty soon, everyone's doing it. SHIT GOT REAL and Pussies Like Necare are notable examples... Chrono and Fluff started those, respectively, and everyone else just started using it everywhere else. That is the nature of a meme. No matter if it was originally serious or funny or even a random occurrence, if it gets picked up in our collective social conscience, it will get regurgitated and spread again. And, as I believe Enro said, a hell of a lot of them tend to originate on 4chan. No matter if it is the place that good taste goes to die, a remarkable number of internet culture references and jokes are spawned there and gradually filter out into the rest of the net community. Like a virus. Nonetheless, many of these - though tweaked and cultivated for our own personal in-jokes - had their origins on 4chan still. ...if only I could put this dedication into my classwork that I'm supposed to be doing right now. >_> |
