In 2025, the exclusivity once inherent to internet memes and trends has dissolved as these elements of online culture have permeated mainstream society. What was once enjoyed by a select group is now ubiquitous, even appearing in political campaigns. Formerly niche content creators are challenged by the changing landscape of social media, particularly with Twitter's transformation into X under Elon Musk and TikTok's uncertain future. These shifts leave many internet veterans grappling for spaces to share their unique humor and creativity, signaling a pivotal change in online cultural dynamics.
There was once a time when memes and internet-born jokes were a novelty enjoyed by relatively few people - the kind who would describe themselves as Extremely Online.
In 2025, it’s very difficult to make the claim that you have a unique grasp of internet culture.
While internet trends were previously inside jokes, they are now widespread and referenced even in mainstream contexts like political campaigns.
Many internet veterans are struggling to find a place to share memes since popular platforms have either changed drastically or face possible bans.
