Not just Millennials. That title set me off as a Gen-X.
Before the internet the most common quote bomb was any Monty Python line...and to their credit, that is still active and effective.
my boomer parents could do half the 'spam spam spam and spam' routine if anyone said spam.
Yeah, first memes were my boomer uncle emailing my boomer dad video attachments. I remember a parody of the Budweiser wassup thing with orthodox Jews delivering whitefish.
Memes like Kilroy was here and that fancy S everyone drew in grade school were around before the internet.
Meme theory is actually really interesting. The Internet just supercharged how fast new memes can propagate.
