so i’ve mentioned a few times that i’ve been keeping a running log of memes in 2016 and briefly documenting them in the interest of meme documentation and shitpost record keeping.
as promised, here is the mid year update of the memes i’ve noted so far in somewhat chronological order (as in by month, but not necessarily in the order they appeared within that month).
please feel free to add any that i may have missed, because it’s very possible that i’ve missed some big ones.
“you fucked up a perfectly good ______ is what you did. look at it. it’s got anxiety.”
are the a (noun) x or a (other noun) x? (i.e.: are you a turtleneck bisexual or a crew neck bisexual? mostly lgbtq oriented in this iteration)
jared leto joker + director (“jared you’re scaring me” / “i don’t know where the joker ends and jared begins”)
a buddy of mine saw kylo ren take his shirt off in the shower and he said that kylo ren had an eight pack. that kylo ren was shredded.
jeans meme (jants, jorts, etc.)
Bernie vs. Hillary; Issue: ______ (ex-issue: first things first. Bernie-i’ll eat ya brains/ Hillary-i’m the realest)

jojo’s bizarre adventure “to be continued”

so that’s what i’ve got so far. feel free to add some i might have missed (as long as they were popular on tumblr beginning this year and they’re not fandom specific memes that never took off outside of that fandom).
