Memes through the years

In the early days of the internet, memes were usually pretty simple, and, normally, when we look at them now, they seem pretty dumb.

For example, this video of "a cat playing piano" has 50 Millions of views in YouTube, and, when it first came out, people found it hilarious. If that video was posted to day, it wouldn't have such huge amount of views. Nowdays you might need a YouTube tutorial to understand a meme... Who am I trying to fool? Memes are still dumb, that's the point of memes anyway. Yeah this entry is compleatly irrelevant as it could be summarized into "memes were dumb, memes still dumb", but, you know, gotta fill the blog, am I rite?

Well, where was I? Oh yeah, memes have changed a lot since the first years of internet, and while back then they were understandable by everyone, know you need knowledge about the internet in general, movies, games... Others are just so dumb that people don't know where is the joke.

This is what a meme looked like in 2006:
