Know Your Meme is the internet's premier encyclopedia for documenting viral phenomena, image macros, and digital trends. While it acts as a repository for internet culture, its branding and visual style have themselves become a meta-meme used to signify that a specific topic has officially 'made it' into the annals of web history. Users often use Know Your Meme templates to mock the complexity of meme lore or to ironically explain jokes that are either too simple or too obscure. It bridges the gap between casual social media consumption and academic-style documentation of the ever-evolving landscape of online humor.
