The 'Forced Meme' refers to an image, catchphrase, or concept that is pushed into the public consciousness through repetitive and deliberate effort rather than natural viral success. Often associated with early imageboard culture, the term is famously linked to the 'Milhouse is not a meme' campaign, which ironically became a meme itself through the act of denial. These memes are characterized by a lack of organic humor and are often used by internet communities to mock corporate marketing attempts or users trying too hard to be funny. On memeOS, you can use this template to highlight the irony of internet culture or to satirize the latest 'next big thing' that simply fails to land with an audience.
