In modern life, we are constantly being pushed to optimize. We need to be up to date with the latest technology, immediately leave behind that job or relationship that is no longer serving us, and take up a new diet, exercise regimen, and possibly a few procedures to turn our bodies into the very best versions that they can be. We are supposed to be constantly striving, evolving, and leaving behind every single annoying thing that held us back in the past so we can pat ourselves on the back and say that we have developed as people (and also consume more).
While there is nothing wrong with some carefully considered self-improvement, it isn't always such a bad thing to stay the same or even go backwards from time to time. If absolutely everything was constantly brand new, we wouldn't have anything to build on in the first place. We have to have come from somewhere to be able to go somewhere.
Although we often associate them with novelty, the same is true of memes. The whole ecosystem that we have today is the product of years of dumb funny things that were expanded, built upon, and continuously revisited to keep the magic alive. That is why there is no harm in revisiting some classics while also being on the lookout for new material. You may have seen some of the memes below before, but that is all the more reason to take a good look at them and consider what they are saying.
