meme'ing is older then color film, it will probably be a thing that last longer then you want. It communicates a subject that goes beyond language

Most memes, probably.

Me when I old and some one shows me a meme I created:

They’ll always exist in some form. You could say comics in the newspaper were a version of memes before memes.

I’m ok with memes. What bothers me is the low effort reuse of meme formats over and over and over again.

I think you're right with some specific formats.

Remember Bad Luck Brian, Scumbag Steve, and socially awkward penguin? If you don't recognize those characters and know what they represent, the text around them won't make nearly as much sense.
