Life as you know is full of uncertainty, it brings out all the good and worst experiences, situation or events. It is “memes” that makes people laugh and happy. For most of the teenagers and even adults, memes are a way to lighten their stress and moods. Through memes people unite online in a good way, by sharing and making memes.
Meme making is an art which comes from within. A desire to make people happy without any greed, and especially for young youths who are depressed, I have seen such people who finds memes as a therapy, it may sound cliché but it is. Through memes, people relate to each other and share happy, jolly vibes on internet. Just by sharing or tagging a relatable meme to one friend, it makes his day. Isn't it funny yet a mesmerizing feeling? It is a very easy way to make someone happy. It feels good deep down.
In today's life meme has become the fastest means of communication and information. Isn't it funny that without watching any news or reading news articles people knows what is happening and trending in the world. I hardly watch or read news articles however I know all the trending news, it is because of the memes that are circulated all over the internet.
Now, instead of spreading ideas, concepts, and behaviours through television, printed media, or word of mouth, we use websites. We make videos. We compose graphics. We have upgraded our environment to that of the technological world, and have consequently proceeded to reproduce our culture there, and memes have made all these information media a secondary subject. Meme comes first, people get more and fast knowledge from memes posts on internet. Memes, in its name it means lot of things, just like a movie or film or a piece of literary work memes have genres too- Comedy, Trolling: which comes under satire, Information, and lot more.
Internet memes are a somewhat difficult concept to grasp. Ranging from jokes about cats with poor spelling, to bad music videos produced by talentless 13-year olds, to graphics making social comments masked in parody, their genres are indeterminable, and one can never predict what form they will take next.
Behind every meme, there is a story with its own plot and twist by the individual making it. In a productive manner through meme many people has grown their own business, it is entrepreneurship. Meme making from just a mere hobby can become the mode of earning or being independent if you have the talent, because here there are no politics, there is only competition, if you got the skills you can make a business out of it.
