Dank[1] Meme Voyage is an aesthetic based around memes and popular scenes around 2010 when memes were popular.

It consisted of

  • reaction memes, edits, pop-culture,
  • cats, animals,
  • Rage comics (and r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu),
  • Advice animals,
  • Starterpacks, Templates (and fill-in generators)
  • and all the classics you (maybe) forgot about!

Some examples can be found at ComedyCementary and ComedyNecrophilia terms, together with some memes of /r9k/ reposts.

Commemoration of those can be found under various names, as in, for example, Memes I found at [X]th page of Google search, (Often made by MemerMan, copied by others.)

Remember the opossums? Or Word-Art? They are back! In edgy form!

In the brink of hope for new decade, some things always tend to return. In this case, it was Word-art, in connection with opossums! But there is more!

As you see, "edgy" or "dank" isn't just something that will disappear forever! The reason?

New generations! When all hope is lost, those old ones who abandoned these ruins, can often see how newbies tend to lurk around them - to be witnesses - of new era! New edgy(ness)!

To mention, there are now Among us memes/edits, painfully unfunny boomers memes (mainly (reactionary) political, satire (it hurts)). Also, (ouch), Minions!

- but those are rather in domain of older folks (Baby-boomers, mainly).

  1. "Dank Memes" is an ironic expression used to describe online viral media and in-jokes that are intentionally bizarre or have exhausted their comedic value to the point of being trite or cliché.[5] In this context, the word “dank,” originally coined as a term for high quality marijuana, is satirically used as a synonym for “cool.” - https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/dank-memes/
