Hey everyone, I've been thinking a lot about internet culture lately. It seems like some memes just instantly resonate with millions and become these massive shared experiences, while others, even if they're pretty funny, just fizzle out.
What do you all think is the actual magic formula for a meme or a short video clip to not just be seen, but to genuinely *go viral* and become super relatable? Is it timing? The specific humor? The simplicity? Or is it something else entirely that just clicks with the hive mind?
Anyone got theories or examples of memes that perfectly hit that viral sweet spot and why you think they did? What do you think about the lifespan of these viral trends too? Discuss!
