No thinking Gen Z-er would want to claim membership with Millenials because Gen Z-ers have co-opted the meme economy. Millenials created the modes of meme production and meme exhange, but Gen Z-ers with instagram memes and twitter proliferation have created a simulacra of meme reality. Gen Z-ers implicity understand, it is coded in their cultural moment which is foreign letters to other generations, that the between the fake meme economy and "real" meme economy, the simulacra is far preferable to the "desert of the real". Why actually be versed in memes when it is far easier to appear versed in memes? Millenials are constantly in crisis over memes becoming "normie" and "watermarks". For the Gen Z-er the only memes that have any cultural currency are the memes that are "normie" and "watermarked". What, for the older generation, is abhorrent and a sign of inauthenticity, finds itself as the inverse for the younger generation. And who will survive in the meme structured culture of twitter and instagram? Will it be the producers of memes, who when they produce new works are ignored in favor of normie memes? Or will it be the new genreation that recognizes that authenticity can be faked more easily than generated?
