U MAD, BRO?

                        Funny internet memes have recently exploded all over the internet. Two iterations of memes have become the most popular, Rage Faces and pictures with funny captions. Pictures with funny captions, often just called memes as they are the face of internet memes, are the most popular iteration of memes. They often feature a funny picture with an equally hilarious caption. All memes have a certain theme, whether it is bad luck (Bad Luck Brian) or being condescending (Condescending Wonka).

                         Rage Faces are the second most popular iteration of internet memes. Rage Faces, such as the Troll Face, LOL Face, and Forever Alone Face, are used in online comics called Rage Comics. Rage Comics are made in online Rage Comic builders. They are normally about something in someone's life that is funny, angering, depressing, confusing, or just an epic win. The characters are usually stick figures and their faces are normally ridiculous. Rage Faces also have themes. The Troll Face above is themed after trolling (making people mad for your enjoyment) people on the internet. A popular theme for Rage Comics themselves is common problems in daily life, such as the one below.

                         Popular meme websites include 9GAG, Reddit, 4Chan, and the Spartz Media. But now, memes are becoming popular everywhere. People are posting memes on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and lots of other places. Memes will continue to rise in popularity and will soon be a household term.
