Memes may seem like innocent funny images or viral trends you share with your friends, but they are also so much more. The things we meme about speak to what's important to us. The formats of the memes and how they naturally evolve speak to our relationship with technology. And the platforms where they propagate speak to where we spend our time online. Join me and my friends as we look at the biggest memes from the past 12 months to better understand those who make those memes.

    In the final episode of the 2020 season of the Year in Memes podcast, my college friend and resident GenZ correspondent AJ Angelia joins me to talk less about specific memes in 2020 and overall trends within our culture from the past year, including new terms that rose to prominence such as Karen, QAnon and Simping, things you can simp for (such as OnlyFans, KPop, VTubers and other influencers), and we try to pick apart the mindspace of Gen Z and how they differ from my millenial point of view. Plus, we dig into AJ's life as a nursing/medical influencer on Instagram and what the medical memes have been like in the year of a global pandemic.

    Pointing Leo Won't Financially Recover From This? Pretty Sus | 2020 Pop Culture Memes ft Noah Levine

    In this episode, I talk with my college friend Noah Levine about the memes that arose from pop culture this year. This includes memes from movies, memes from tv series we binged, memes from online videos, memes from celebrities (both relatable and not), and memes from video games. We also try to dig into whether memes are the new pop culture, and how memes have shaped the future of pop culture itself.
