A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Excuse me, but still? not 8 mm, VHS, or DVD? People existed before the year 2000.
Fucking millennials
Oh man, I can't wait to pick up a copy of Project Hail Mary on VHS. I'm sure that will be widely available and easy to purchase
I mean, vinyl and cassettes for music are still made, sure, but they are usually limited run collectors items; not something you can just buy everywhere for every album that gets released. Even new CDs aren't exactly easy to come by.
The only time I see BluRays or DVDs anymore of movies I have actually heard of, is at a thrift store.
Is a bit wild how they remembered to put down vinyls and even cassettes, but forgot DVDs and VHS tapes which are very arguably bigger household names than Blu-ray.
Also, literally all millenials were born before 2000. And many of them (myself included) grew up with VHS and DVD.
See how they bury me
Blu-Ray is pertinent here because it is a Sony product
But they could have mentioned other formats too - would it have made the argument any better? Absolutely not, but sure, go ahead and yell at clouds
So were CDs and VHS
Jvc made vhs but go off
Sony backed Betamax. They lost that round.
