Two starter pack memes from Reddit's /r/starterpacks

19 Starter Packs To Help Define Your World

Starter Packs are a kind of meme that shows how what we say, buy, do, and post defines us. Originally from 2014 Twitter, Starter Packs were a meme trend that joked about stereotypes of people who wore certain shoes, said certain phrases, and believed certain things. But over the years, starter packs have evolved to be a meme format that can tell stories, poke fun, and even question our habit of stereotyping and judging things.

On Reddit's /r/starterpacks, some of the best and most cutting starter pack memes combine ethnographic observation with humor, flair and sophistication. These memes are portraits of types of person or experience that you maybe don't even realize pop up everywhere around you. They discuss and share what defines us as citizens of the society we live in. More than just lists of qualities and things, these memes are indirect outlines of a time and a place.
