And it should be no wonder that there’s that many memes shared. Recent surveys determined that memes are an integral part of the youth’s daily lives. 64% reported that they are amused by memes and 61% appreciate seeing them if they’re related to their hobbies.
31% of folks online share memes on social media and various messaging apps, while 29% share on social media alone.
Considering this, it’s only natural for companies to have a slice of the action.
Companies like Nescafe used memes as part of their marketing strategies—it was also a bit of a jab at the iPhone’s then unorthodox camera layout design. And they aren’t the only ones. Mumbai Police and Tinder India both use memes on the regular. The first one uses it to spread awareness and educate on safety while the other debunks relationship myths and the like.
Memes have been around for a while and they have evolved pretty significantly. So, it’s unlikely that they’ll just disappear one day. But they do disappear individually. According to a study and analysis of Google Trends, a modern-day meme these days lasts for around 4 months. Back in 2008, however, the average lifespan of a meme was nearly 2 years. Alas, in time, they became seemingly more disposable.
