ARE MEMES ART?
I don’t know if it’s an age and/or generational thing. I don’t care for it but I definitely appreciate it when it’s well done in my eyes. I equate it almost like a random (art) museum visit. Everyone’s going to have a different favorite exhibit, and some people might just feel indifferent or unimpressed. Memes are a great tool for digital communication but they are limited to just that. Humans can’t, haven’t, nor will master basic vocal interaction and here we go in a digital age making things more complicated. But anyway, that said…
But then…
Now. Since I don’t want to go and/or get lost down the meme making (Giphy.com)rabbit hole any more than I feel I have to for the day. I invite anyone reading this to my last 3 posts for the digital version of some of my backstory.

Hey Angel,
I definitely think it is an age thing because my siblings that are about 10-13 years older than me don’t care for it either. However, I sill send random memes to them which they then proceed to post so I’m guessing they still think it’s funny. I really like your tweak on your post requirement for this week LOL.
Your Gif project was also interesting to view.
Thank you Vinika. I appreciate the feedback. Yeah. I think in the end everybody loves and appreciates a good well timed meme.
