In this world, a great deal of importance is given to adults being somewhat sensible and responsible, or at least whatever version of that society tells us is correct. We are told in various ways that we can’t truly find satisfaction in life unless we repress all the unserious parts of ourselves and do the boring stuff that everybody else does. While there is an element of truth to this for most, it also isn’t healthy to live with all work and no play. Plus, even the most straight-laced of individuals feel the need to let loose sometimes, even if that doesn’t look very socially acceptable at all. Memes are a great way of allowing our more unhinged side some freedom without it becoming too inconvenient in other ways. They may waste our time, but so long as you know how to portion them out, they shouldn’t cause any more problems than that.
