Life of a meme - Alex Krokus
Why do people expect something to be funny forever? Most memes are barely funny in context. Then they are ironically funny, and then they find a place on Facebook where they spend eternity. Why are le rage comic not funny? People loved them. People who post memes now were like 4 when rage comics were cool.
Same thing that happened to the Harlem shake
Not sure those are one-to-one. I remember just about every local news station doing the Harlem Shake, but as far as I can tell not one has reenacted the coffin dance (but I'd love to be proven wrong).
It became a Fortnite emote at one point. Or maybe it was PUBG. I forget. But shortly afterwards that was the end of that.
Wasn't Mr Peanut killed for that and was a huge thing? https://media.tenor.com/RK_kAumki6YAAAAC/dance-coffin.gif
Trends in general, be it fashion or hit music or whatever, come and go. It's human nature. Memes follow the same pattern so they fall out of style/out of heavy use after a while.
