We love old memes because they remind us of a time when we felt like participants instead of consumers
(self.showerthoughts)
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
I think for a number of us it's nostalgia, like what @[email protected] was saying. I too was there when the old memes were formed. And I think you're on to something too, OP.
