What exactly is a meme? Memes are behaviours or ideas expressed as a joke, spread for humorous purposes on social media platforms. Evolved as a universal language between friends, a picture or joke can reach nations across, garnering millions of likes and shares, and ultimately becoming an internet staple sensation. Local influences have also increased the popularity of memes, such as Hong Kong-based memes creator hkmehmeh with over 34k followers.

In the early tens, 9GAG has grown into a gathering place for enthusiasts around the world. In Dutch secondary schools, young people often browse through several pictures for hours during class, and then discuss the best pictures with friends during the break.
Nowadays, memes can no longer be avoided. They are everywhere. Even online shopping giant Bol. You must not pass. In , linguist Albin Wagner published a devastating article Scientific article About the online platform. He concluded that the platform brought people around the world together, but that it did so through heterosexual masculine and sexual symbols and the exclusion of other groups. I myself have seen my relationship with my first meme platform dwindle as messages increasingly trade their wits for pure hate.
The obvious sexist, discriminatory and homophobic messages spoiled the fun for me. This endless scrolling through pictures where you chuckle at one more than the other. But the glory days of 9GAG are over. The fact that he is still alive is mainly due to his following of his users on other social media.
