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.

I never watched the show. I know it has something to do with aliens. But I didn't know that the alien was Ziggy Stardust.
It's worth watching, if only for the historical value
You misspelled "hysterical".
Swine! Viper!
You challenge my autocorrect skills??
If I were fifty years younger I'd have the butler throw you out!
I loved the monster of the week early seasons but never made it past the later seasons where Anderson and Duchovny were replaced. Is there anything worth watching past that?
Pause for info dump: Season 3 lost two of the main writer-producers, who returned in seasons 4-5, and then were gone again after Duchovny insisted on moving the show to the US. You can tell the distinct tonal shift between the seasons, and also in how Mulder is written. Season five was also intended to be the series finale, but Fox renewed it. That's a big part of seasons 6-9 being a nothing burger that often contradicts earlier canon.
With all that said, I've been watching the later seasons fully leaning into critiquing it like Statler and Waldorf. From that angle, it's been fun.
As for the reboots, I think a similar thing happened where season 1 was a successfully nostalgic bit of fan service, and then they wound up with more seasons than they knew what to do with. Watch with low expectations when you want something to fill the time, but don't want to commit full attention.
Thank you! Lol I am now both vindicated and informed!
A third season came out a few years ago.
I had to watch it, but it was hard work.
I think season2 lost its way towards the end.
I liked The Lone Gunmen
I will never get over that the pilot episode of Lone Gunmen, released in March 2001, featured a government faction hijacking a commercial airliner via remote control to crash it into the World Trade Center as a false-flag operation.
It's pretty wild.
