I really liked the article and I’ll try to unpack what resonated with me most since it talked about a lot of different topics. Since growing up on social media, it was like looking back on what I’d experienced from when I was in middle school to current what meme culture is today

First, I really agreed with their comment on seriousness but taking nothing serious. I think most of gen z on social media would agree with this label, and I’ll connect it to a lot of the political/anti-trump videos I see on tik tok.

If you arent familiar with this culture, you definitely wouldnt understand the importance & impact of these types of videos.While most of these videos (joking about what Trump says & taking trump signs) are usually perceived and meant to be funny I think there is a deeper meaning

Even if the meaning isn’t always intentional, these videos are more so than ever bringing light to the importance of this election and using a format we’re comfortable with (funny videos/memes) to bring awareness

I also think that because of these videos more young people are interested in politics and the voting for our age range will be strong. After all, tiktok is actually where I see most of this content and I actually trust certain creators on the app more than the traditional news

So hopefully my point didn’t get lost but yeah: posting these types of videos on an app originally made for dancing videos, I have to say that’s a great way to sum up our use of meme culture to talk about serious topics and spread information in a lighter but impactful way
