    This is one of the worst trends of social media. Sticking to the familiar and regurgitating popular takes gets you lauded while original thoughts or ideas are met with scorn or indifference.

      That said, there is a "language" and "pattern" to memes that I've been learning to master.

      People engage more with an image of text than an actual paragraph of text.
      Brevity is the soul of wit.
      Dumb your ideas down, use basic language, and in-group language and symbols.
      Don't invent memes, just use existing ones, even if it's as dumb as "Lisa Simpson theater marquee" or "sailor girl holding a sign"
