Technically speaking, Gen X is the one who invented memes. Millennials perfected them, and Gen Z just took the flag and ran with it.
Gen Z memes and humor are in a world of their own. Anyone over 25: How many of these memes do you even get?
What Does It Even Mean?
Answer: Nothing. It means nothing. Some Gen Z humor is like an onion, with layers upon layers of irony. And then you have this.
‘Your Honor, My Client Is an Aries.’
Plot twist: The perpetrator is a millennial and leads with, “So I did a thing…”
Meanwhile, Gen X Made Popcorn to Watch the Rest of Us Fight
To clarify, millennials don’t hate Gen Z. We just don’t want to deal with low rise pants again.
Zillennials Are a Thing? Does That Mean There Are Also Xillennials?
Or Xoomers? Make it make sense.
If You’ve Ever Wondered Whether Gen Z Is OK, the Answer Is No
Their humor is exceptionally dark, and the fact that we can’t always tell if they’re kidding is terrifying.
Can’t We Just Get Along Already?
None of you are better. We’re all human dumpster fires out here trying our best.
He Does Look Like a Harold
What if Harold is a girl? Did you just assume a bug’s pronouns? Rude.
We Can Understand Harold, but Dave?
What does it mean? BRB while I ask my 15-year-old neighbor to translate.
Seriously, Are You Guys OK?
It’s like being born into a recession, paying for health insurance you can’t afford, the ice caps melting, the coral reefs dying and human rights jumping out of a plane with a poorly packed parachute is depressing or something.
We Don’t Know What Gen Z Art Even Is
Matisse would be confused. This looks like the photos everyone took in the Photobooth app on first generation iPads.
Don’t Worry, Gen Z. Boomers Don’t Get Millennial Humor Either
Maybe they just don’t like to laugh. Admittedly, we don’t know what to make of this mysterious leg egg any better than they do.
When You’re Trying to Hit the Five-Page Mark and the Font Size Is Already Maxed Out
Brevity is the soul of wit? That’s what some old dude said.
A Gen Z Appreciation Meme for Sticking It to the Man
Millennials got gay marriage legalized, elected the first Black U.S. president and made it OK to have a butt again. Now, we’re just trying to figure out how to buy houses with pocket lint.
Gen Z, take it away. We’re too tired to stick it to the man anymore.
Gen Z Memes Are Confusing
Did someone lose mayo? What are we missing here?
They’re Not Wrong
Anyone who has been personally victimized by this meme, we rented a bounce house because adulting is hard. All side parts and skinny jeans are welcome.
Some Gen Z Memes Cross Generations
Our favorite shows are different, but we’ll all rewatch them over starting some new show that we have no idea if we’ll even like.
Imagine If Van Gogh Saw This
He’d probably be cool with it. If your work is in the finest art museums and spread through teenage pop culture at the same time, you obviously did something right.
Some Gen Z Humor Is Dangerously Close to Dad Jokes
Exhibit A. How is this not a dad joke? It is. A good dad joke, but still a dad joke.
Apply Some Ice to That Burn
And do it yourself, because if a nurse does it, it’ll cost you $500 more.
At Least We Can Agree on One Thing
Fitness influencers are annoying. They probably didn’t even get the Fairly Odd Parents reference.
