About

Meme Generator ^[1] is a website for making Advice Animals and image macro made in 2009 by “Eff Snarf”, a former Web developer. Eff Snarf said he came up with idea for Meme Generator while browsing 4chan, when he saw users posting what would later be known as “Depression Dog.”

Popular Memes

Many different macros can captioned on Meme Generator. Not Sure If X, Y U NO Guy, The Most Interesting Man In The World, Foul Bachelor Frog, and Forever Alone, are just a few that are confirmed memes on KYM. The site ranks these characters with an upvote/downvote system, and gives some insight behind the memes.

Conflicts

Incorrect usage of the term “Meme”

Eff Snarf named his website Meme Generator, even though it’s only purpose is to make captioned images. Snarf said that he is aware that captioned images are not memes but, “changing the website’s name is really impossible right now.” ^[2]

Bullying

Many people use Meme Generator to make fun of someone they hate (even though most of them are failed). Eff Snarf responds by saying, "The website is indeed being used for bullying a lot but we try our best to minimize that.” ^[2]

4chan

4chan has fought back Meme Generator by blocking images from Meme Generator as if they were spam and making MemeGenerator.com (Snarf’s Meme Generator is MemeGenerator.net) redirect to 4chan’s homepage.
“People think that Meme Generator is backed by some huge corporation, exploiting 4chan’s content and they have no idea it’s a single person garage thing.” said Snarf. ^[2]
