I wonder if you've heard about, oh I can't remember the lady's name, but she came up with her own theory and even calls it "Memetics". Others call it pseudoscience. I looked into it but couldn't really comprehend her theory enough to form an opinion of it...
One of my all time favorites is the one of the guy blinking in disbelief.
And the John Travolta one
You know which one I'm talking about
I've noticed even if you only type in a search bar "John Travolta" the meme itself comes up as a top result.
The image of the personality becomes so ingrained with the meme that the person and the meme become interchangeable, synonymous! Poor Mr. Travolta himself becomes "the guy from the 🤷🏻 meme" and no longer "the guy from Pulp Fiction".
Thanks for a such nice comment. I very much agree with it.
