deep memes

We've all been through those angsty teen phases where fluctuations in hormones bring out the cringe in us. When I was 14, my worst display of teen angst was probably hiding in the bathroom during class to write poetry about being misunderstood. These days, the internet makes it much easier to embarrass ourselves by instantly oversharing and posting deep memes about the ills of society. But honestly, we're pretty into the 'deep' pseudo-philosophical cringe. Give us all the profound joker image macros and 'we live in a society' platitudes, because we think they're freakin' hilarious. 

We've got some great examples of cringey deep posts that were shared in earnest and self-reflexive memes that satirize the angsty teen voice.

We honestly can't tell if these 'deep' memes are satirical or totally serious, and you know what? We don't care, because they're pretty funny. They're the sort of memes that you laugh at, not with. The kind of cringe that could've been posted by either your boomer grandpa who thinks technology represents the fall of civilization, or the emo, 14-year-old version of you. Scrolling through these memes is like watching a movie so bad, it's kinda good.

Not all memes are fun and games. Some memes are meant to make you think. We found a goldmine of platitudes, carefully crafted by the internet's most profound pseudo-philosophers. Did you know the 'earth' without 'art' is just 'eh'? Pretty deep, right? A wise person once said, 'we live in a society.' Don't ask us what this means...you wouldn't get it.
