Forums / Discussion / Meme Research

As we know, these US elections have probably been the craziest ones so far. As such, a lot of memes and subcultures were directly involved at some point, in one way or another. I have… something in mind to do with that information, but I am sure I do not know/remember all of them.

The ones I remember are:

- Overwatch ("Trump mains Hanzo").
- My Little Pony (Twilight Sparkle used to defend Melania Trump's speech).
- Pepe (Nazi Pepe Controversy).
- KC Green's "This Is Fine" meme (weaponized without permission – then commissioned for… more or less the same reason).
- Moon Man (coined by Trump supporters for… a reason I vaguely remember).
- Kermit ("#ImWithKer").

But I am sure there were more; it is hard to keep up with them all.

So, any help with this..? Would appreciate it a lot. I will, of course, give credit to those giving info when I do the "thing" I plan to do, probably by naming them + linking this thread.

Melania was also accused of stealing from "Never Gonna Give You Up"

I can't believe memes have become important in our election

1)Don't know if it counts as what you're looking for, but the Reddit users over at /r/the_Donald call themselves centipedes or pedes. It's a reference to this video, which also gets used frequently by anti-feminist/anti-SJW Youtubers.

2) Isn't the NOT ANOTHER FUCKING TRUMP MEME from Expand Dong?

heres the song used in the video btw

"2) Isn’t the NOT ANOTHER FUCKING TRUMP MEME from Expand Dong?"

It is, but that one was made by a KYM user and, as a matter of fact, I was the one who said "we will eventually need an "Another Trump meme" Expand Dong image, as it is KYM's tradition.", and it was then made and replied to me in a comment, technically making me the culprit (I DO have some regrets…), and so, it would be hypocritical of me to include it on such an isolated account that I pushed.

Pokemon Go To the Polls.

Shit, almost forgot that one even though I have mentioned it many times. Good call.

Also worth noting that a sad old man's soul is missing.

Cancer memes never die.

Jeb! Bush counts as a meme, right? He totally does.

Edit: forgot the exclamation mark

Don't tell me that Knife Party, and by a distance Pendulum, are retroactively tainted now….

Pendulum will only ever be associated with sick airshot montages tbh

Daddy. A meme from both Trump and Sanders supporters.

RIP Frog may mays

This little dude ("Get Out Frog") somehow escaped the political carnage.

You could say he…

got out unscathed.

Just want to add that Hillary Clinton Dabbed on the Ellen Degeneres show, so we can throw that one onto the pile.
