The Great Meme Reset of 2026 is a piece of speculative internet lore that gained traction as a parody of economic 'Great Reset' conspiracy theories. It suggests a hypothetical future event where the oversaturation of AI-generated content and corporate platform decay leads to a total collapse of existing meme formats, forcing humanity back to 'primitive' image macros or a complete digital void. Often depicted with glitchy aesthetics or dystopian imagery, the meme serves as a satirical commentary on the fleeting nature of digital trends and the fear of a controlled, sanitized internet. Users employ this template to joke about current internet burnout or to predict which hyper-specific niche subcultures will be the only things to survive the inevitable digital purge.
