        Counter point: the Internet has created a new definition of what funny means. This new kind of funny is like a kind of nostalgia mixed with groupthink. It’s doesn’t make anyone laugh, but it’s “funny”.

            I mean, yes, that’s what I’m saying. Internet invested a new type of funny that isn’t funny.

                Didn’t say anything about better or worse, but someone from the 80s would not find memes funny. You need to be a meme connoisseur to appreciate most memes. Even among my friends very few understand the shit posts you folks post.

                    Dude. You’re not from the 80s. You’re from today. I mean if you brought someone from the 80s to today.
