I thought at first this was just describing how each generation is but its a bit more abstract than that: these are the kinds of memes they make.

    Juan's been around since before gen z could speak. That one's millenial humor that gen z adopted and extrapolated.

    Looks like it popped up in 2015, so not as old as I remember. Still can be argued that it's too old to be gen z meme. the meme juan was 2020, though, and originally posted to Instagram, so it's genz

    My 9 year old nephews told me months ago that 6-7 was already lame.

    Which makes sense. If a kids' meme is at a point where adults know enough about it, it's probably already passé. That's just how this stuff works.
