Incubation
The birthplace. Obscure forums, niche Discord servers, or single TikToks before they breach the algorithm. Pure, unadulterated format.
Explosion
The algorithmic breach. Rapid spreading across platforms. Influencers co-opt the format. The original meaning begins to dilute.
Saturation
Peak visibility. Brands start using it on Twitter. Your parents ask you what it means. The format is structurally exhausted.
Irony
Post-ironic revival. The meme is used exclusively to mock the meme itself or the people who still use it sincerely.
