    This makes me wonder: what exactly happened to the Coffin Dance meme, was it assimilated by some brand so to fell in disuse? Did the Coffin Dance guys danced with the Coffin Dance meme’s coffin?

      Why do people expect something to be funny forever? Most memes are barely funny in context. Then they are ironically funny, and then they find a place on Facebook where they spend eternity. Why are le rage comic not funny? People loved them. People who post memes now were like 4 when rage comics were cool.

      Trends in general, be it fashion or hit music or whatever, come and go. It’s human nature. Memes follow the same pattern so they fall out of style/out of heavy use after a while.
