We need to talk about meme culture.
How are the aesthetics and vibes of memes turning into an action language? Jamie and Josh explore the ways memes inspire action: From #Gentleminions to extremist movements.
Further, they explore how people outside of in-group communities can understand intent when nothing is explicitly being said. Is the term meme culture in jeopardy of being entirely co-opted?
