As the seminal band Squeeze once said, «Everybody tells me that it’s cool to be a cat, cool for cats (cool for cats).» And I live by that. There’s a reason we use the phrase «cool cats» besides it being delightfully alliterative. Cats have an inherent coolness to them that’s hard to put your finger on. Maybe it’s because they’re usually pretty quiet. Mysterious, soft-spoken people are usually pretty cool. Maybe it’s because they’re good at glaring at you like they’re the popular girl at school and you wore an ugly skirt to class. Is it withering? Absolutely. Is it a display of coolness? Hard to deny. But maybe, above all, we say «cool cat» because cats are emotionally distant. Ah, yep. There it is. 

These memes have a coolness to them that’s hard to deny. Even though memes aren’t thought of as a classically cool thing to enjoy (it’s usually relegated to the realm of nerdiness), we here at Memebase know that cool kids do indeed enjoy memes.
