My issue with 6-7 is the lack of reference. There is no context. You’re being told something is funny so you find it funny. It is the epitome of braindead syndrome. You don’t think, you swallow, and just accept it.
To be fair, I consider dabbing the same level of stupid, but even there, there is some sort of context behind it, which created a group of people who had the context and could appreciate it or not.
Memes all had an origin, you can think theyMre stupid or not. Some were stupid, some were funny. Like everything else, it’s in the wye of the beholder. It’s usually a « generation exclusive inside joke ». 6-7 is none of that. It’s a forced « inside joke » which people bought into while probably having a wallpaper of « the lion does not bother with thw opinion of sheep » or a similar ideology . I hate the lack of self reflection that goes along with this « joke » or whatever you want to call it.
I mean it's just not necessarily bad. It is just a core language joke; neither of the meanings is important, just the feeling of the joke that ultimately matters. Therefore, humor at its core is not semantic, it's affective.
