I love how people are memeing the Olympics so hard this year. Or maybe I'm just in different circles now.
I think it's also largely caused by the majority of olympians being gen z for the first time (and it not being overshadowed by that one certain thing like the last olympics).
Why are you saying this like Gen Z invented the meme?
They were born in it. Molded by it.
They don't make the memes. The memes made them.
I knew a dude when working at Amazon whos parent met because of fucking hamster dance. He was literally made by a meme.
You get a few every Olympics, but it goes harder some years than others.
Are we? I'm not really into sports so I've barely seen any.
Except for that Turkish shooter. I know that one.
