Forums / Discussion / Meme Research

There's a lot of parodies and jokes associated with iPhone, especially when there's a new release. We also have quite a few entries tagged as iphone, enough to create an umbrella entry for. But since this would be the first subculture entry on hardware device (at least that I can recall), I wanted to hear your thoughts and see if anyone would be interested in helping with research.

I think it could work. Especially considering the aesthetic appeal of their products, Apple has built a sort of cultish atmosphere around itself and its products, and they have an extraordinarily dedicated fanbase. It is most certainly a subculture, and there should definitely be an entry.

I believe an entry for Apple in general might work out better, allows to cover a broader array of subjects.

Like Fridge said for example, Apple has a huge, almost cult like, following. But those people are Apple fans, not just IPhone fans. Having an entry about just the IPhone would make adding them incorrect.

I say go ahead and make the Apple entry. Sadly, I made it to this thread a tad late, so what I was thinking has already been said, but maybe I could help out with research? I've seen several Apple-related jokes and stuff (mainly iPhone-related, but also just Apple in general).

Thing is, it would be my first editorship, so I need to learn about formatting and stuff first. I'll post this and be off to another thread to learn how to do that.

And done.

the iPhone mightve started some small fads long ago, I Dont Know which makes it a subculture entry
