The social media project has been around on Facebook for quite a while now. It was created more than five years ago, in mid-April of 2019, and continues to thrive. Sure, there are lots of great other meme genres out there! But save those ideas for other groups. In the meantime, like in most online communities, everyone’s expected to be kind and respectful of each other. The aim is to create an online space where everyone feels welcome. By definition, memes are ideas and bits of content that are shared and reshared. And you can’t be viral without the content resonating with you, at least on some level.
However, you also want the captions to resonate with your viewers. They can’t be too generic or your audience will feel bored. But make them too specific, and you’ll only attract a very niche following. Essentially, this means using high-resolution images as a base, as well as a format that’s clear and understandable in a heartbeat. Furthermore, you want to use a font that is easy to read and in a color that doesn’t get lost in the background. Author and the creator of the ‘Neuromarketing’ blog Roger Dooley explained to The Christian Science Monitor in an interview why people enjoy grumpy animal memes, not just adorable images. According to him, there’s a novelty factor involved here. People get tired of cutesy content. “If you can assign this sort of unexpected emotion to an animal, it’s effective. I think we don’t expect our animals to be grumpy, so as a result you have that novelty factor at work too.” Let us know what you think in the comments section!
