QUEER MEME ZONE
Short lived punchlines have transformed to measurements of time, and online humour only furthers our generational gap. Not only do memes differ between age groups, but subcultures as well. Popular social media sites such as Twitter and Instagram are home to a large variety of safe spaces for subcultures like Anarcho-punks, various Fandoms, Goths, LGBTQA+, and the Black community. Similar thoughts, conversations, and jokes are shared which lead to a unifying act of creating & understanding more notably distinct memes.
Memes are currently emerging as a new type of language tied in with constantly modernized slang and icons, leaving us with another aspect of the social world we must keep up with.
P.S.,,,
for an enhanced experience in the QUEER MEME ZONE, we recommend you to turn on all the videos present on the webpage and only unmute the video you desire to listen to at the moment (unless queer cacophony is your kinda thing).
BEWARE of flashing lights.
