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.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

That's funny, but it's also misrepresenting. Cross-dressing want really something that men would get away with u-assaulted ... unless you're Freddie Mercu. For how "manly men" were portrayed, look up Don Johnson with skinny ties and shoulder pads.
Did you miss the whole hair metal thing? All of those guys wore loads of makeup and those bands were massively popular for a while. They were literally drowning in it.
Poodles with guitars, yes. 🤩 There weren't many people looking like that in regular life.
I don't know if I'm supposed to recognise the "now" dude but he looks like not a celebrity, just someone you'd pass by on a fashionable street.
Haha yeah true enough, at least outside of LA or New York, but still there were a shit ton of smaller copycat bands trying to make it, if you watch the documentary Decline of Western Civilization Part 2: The Metal Years you can see a bunch of them, point being it was a look that was popular with girls at the time since all these dudes wanted to be in bands mostly just to get with a lot of women.
Yeah I'm not sure about him either, kind of a strange meme all around haha.
