The 'Modern Society' Parody meme genre typically features illustrations—often in the style of artist Steve Cutts—that offer heavy-handed critiques of contemporary life, technology, and consumerism. While originally intended as serious social commentary on topics like smartphone addiction or corporate greed, the internet eventually transformed these images into ironic memes. These parodies often use the catchphrase 'We Live in a Society' to mock the perceived pretentiousness or 'fake deep' nature of the original artwork. Today, users use these templates both to make genuine points and to lampoon the overly dramatic way society critiques itself in the digital age.
