A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

I’m a firm believer each nominal decade (“the 80s” in this case) starts with the year ending in 1 (1981-1990).
Mathematically it’s correct (there was no year 0), but more to the point look at anything in the popular culture in 1980, doesn’t it look like it’s from the 70s? Video from 1990 doesn’t look “90s”, it looks 80s.
Just because no one said it was there, doesn't mean it wasn't.
It's like vaccines and autism and other things RFK doesnt believe in. They still exist!
There was not a year zero. This isn’t a conspiracy theory.
BC and AD are separate numbering schemes- so just because there is no year 0 defined doesn't mean you can't extrapolate - 0 AD is the same as 1 BC, and you'll have -1 AD which is equivalent to 2 BC and so forth...
