The world evolves with every passing decade. The arts, sports, and journalism, everything transforms for the sake of a better future. This change and evolution keep them relevant in every decade and century. Take the examples of cricket, which was once a very strategic, calm, and gentlemanly game, but post-Pandemic cricket has evolved into T20 cricket, which is the fastest form of the game. It’s short, exciting, energetic, and profitable. E-games have evolved into big industries and tournament. For instance, the craze of Tekken games is increasing day by day: gamers compete on an international level. A decade ago, no one believed it would become a greater industry than it is today.
Professional Memes
The culture of memes is also evolving into a grand industry. I believe meme has the potential to evolve into a professional field. It has the tools to become a Million-dollar industry, because it has the ability to attract Billions of eyeballs. It can create connections because people can relate to it. Every age group can invest in it. Every culture can adopt this culture and in culture. It can be adopted.
E-games and Memes
If it follows the path of professional E-games, it will grow faster and bigger than E-games because it covers every field. Its range is much higher than E-games. It engages every social, ethnic, and religious group. It has become more of an international Genre.
Memes as a Cinema
Maybe, people will not agree, but memes itself is a cinema. It possesses its own visual and textual storytelling power. Visually and textually, it presents a new genre that can convey morals, story, and any other lesson.
Marketing purpose
Memes have become a purposeful marketing strategy that goes beyond fun. Nowadays, brands use memes in their advertising to appeal to younger consumers. Memes offer humor, relatability, and viral potential, three essential components of contemporary advertising and the framework and tools to support whole marketing initiatives.
Irony and Satire
The use of meme culture in irony and satire is arguably its most intriguing aspect. The age-old practice of social and political satire has been brought back to life by memes since the epidemic, but in a speedier and easier format. Memes can be used to expose cultural hypocrisies and make fun of repressive regimes. I occasionally wonder, “How did the creator think of that?” when I see a meme. Their clever and incisive humor is genius condensed into a few seconds.
