A Merry Band Of Motley Memes

Have you ever heard the theory that the United States is like a melting pot, with various cultures coming together and amalgamating into one uniquely American culture? Despite that talking point’s prominence, America as a melting pot is quite a misnomer because cultures don’t just bleed into each other. Cultural practices don’t become an indistinguishable goo similar to that of cheese fondue just because they exist in close proximity to each other. Instead of the melting pot theory, other sociologists have theorized that the U.S. is more like a salad, with different cultures mixed together while still maintaining their unique shape.

Large compilations of memes are also kind of like a salad. Twitter memes, fandom memes, image macros, and edgy memes can all exist together in harmony without overtaking the other. While you may not like all parts of this amalgamation, the experience of consuming it will significantly benefit you.
