A statement that will get you flamed:
Most of the memes today don't even deserve to be called memes.
The memes of the past had a foundation. They were fun, funny, and could be repeated; the community created them organically, playing with and sharing the jokes, and the currency was just a label applied later.
You might forget the price, but you'll definitely remember that meme.
Back then, memes could sustain consensus for a few months, even a year.
It wasn't about how great the project was; it was that everyone was genuinely sharing the same joke,
the community truly had faith.
And now?
Many BSC memes have become industrialized to a terrifying extent:
A phrase → Find a perspective → Name it
The front enters → Pull a string → Wait for people to follow → Crash
From start to finish, not a single step is fun.
When the front enters, retail investors think this is consensus;
When the front crashes, they realize it's just a rhythm.
In the past: the community existed first, and the price followed;
Now: the price is pulled first, and the community is forcefully created.
You might not even remember what it's called, and it has already gone to zero.
So the problem isn't that memes die quickly,
but rather— they never had any memes to begin with.
Without a foundation, no one repeats;
Without repetition, there’s no community;
Without a community, there can be no consensus.
What’s left is just a race of who runs fast and who survives in a PVP.
What is a true meme?
It’s not about watching K-lines, but being willing to stay in the group and watch people play with jokes;
It’s being able to be dug up and continue to be teased or recreated after a few months.
Not about fixating on who said something or posted a tweet, searching for angles to issue coins, and then asking— should we sell now?
So it’s not that the meme track is failing; it’s that too many people treat narrative angles as culture.
A coin without consensus can only rely on the next person to take over;
A meme without memorable points is destined to live only a day.
A true meme is one that can be remembered.
If it’s not memorable, even if it rises, it’s just a one-time consumable.
