Ah, cat memes. A constant in life, along with death and taxes. I genuinely find it interesting how the internet's love for cats has only ever increased as time went on. The fact that grumpy cat has managed to amass an audience large enough to have an entire movie dedicated to them ( Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever ) is pretty impressive, and cements Grumpy Cat's spot as one of the more important internet cultural figures, despite not being human at all.
This article did such a great job on introducing cat memes' development! I am one of the victims of all these cute cat memes and I really love them, but honestly, I don't know a lot about the development and evolution of all these famous memes. And like you said, cat memes are usually not only fun pictures. They often express what the content maker and the majorities think.
I found your substack post to be really intriguing. In my substack post I wrote about the egg post on instagram and how it was short lived. So many trends when they go viral bring people together and build communities with common interests. I found it interesting to read about how long the cat memes have stayed around for because so many memes are only popular for a short time. I remember in high school these were really popular to send around and I would see them on social media all the time. This view at digital culture about how these memes have brought communities together and show how people have common interests.
