This board and its posters are entirely motivated by fear of social rejection

remember when memes were cool? then other people started using them and making them and 4chan completely repelled meme culture by shifting the meaning of the actual word meme by giving it negative connotations like >le epic meme

>>5750557
Remember when 4chan pioneered rage comics? The FUUUUUUUUU ones?

If you posted one of those now, anywhere on the internet, you'd be fucking laughed at. It's really amazing the turn around time here.

kek is more fun to be entirely honest.
Gotta keep those memes fresh.

Laugh my ass off. Laugh out loud. Rolling on the floor laughing here.

great post OP, ten out of ten. I will print this post off and save it so that i can read it to my grandchildren and show them what a truely epic post looked like when i was young.


Really though, who the fuck thinks that people on 4chan care about what is "acceptable". You can post wharever the fuck you want and people do. People do still say lol, and they will continue to say kek.

toplol
toplel
topkek

Kek just sounds better when subvocalized. More snappy.

For the longest time, I thought it was some kind of antisemitic slur.

>>5750516
I have always used "hahaha" or "hehehe" when appropriate.

>>5750557
>remember when memes were cool?
Was that when planking hit it big?

wew

>>5750516
honestly nothing is more "reddit" than staying up on what memes are most socially acceptable

lol and lmao until i die

I kekked

Jesus christ OP, how high are you right now?

>>5750516
kek is definitely punchier, jej is nice sometimes though.

Its true that all memes eventually come to become >le reddit memes, except the fedora meme, I'm pretty sure that started on reddit. Even Baneposting, I fear, has reached terminal velocity.

>tfw you know kek from years ago when you played WoW
>tfw you get called sperg memelord when you tell this story
totally unrelated:
>tfw WoW nostalgia

My diaphragm experienced a pleasurable seizure!

People do understand that "kek" originated from World of Warcraft, right? If you were an alliance player, anytime you saw a horde player say "lol" in game, it would be translated to "kek." The autist in me wonders how many people actually know this.

We have been visited by Mr. Sperg Memelord. Thank you Mr. Sperg Memelord

i use lol, kek, lel, lmao, rofl

>>5750516

it's weird how advice dog changed into just a format and pepe was revived (and changed to sadfrog)

Sorry m8, if you were a real memer you would've done your research and discovered that 4chan has gone through a series of bastardizations of lol (lulz>lel>kek) and dropped each one when it became played out.

If you were a real memer you would realize that memes thrive in that sweet spot of popularity when they are used broadly within the in-group but aren't commonly used outside of the group. This period generally doesn't last long, and so it's on to the next meme.

>>5750693
You're a big guy.

>>5750516
Way to miss the point!

"lol" is a gibbering laugh, "kek" is a cackling laugh.

Why cackling is now more popular here that gibbering I don't know, but certainly not due to reddit.

>>5750755
uhh, thanks I guess...?

>>5750742
It is intriguing how Pepe went through a total reversal from "Feels good, man" to sadfrog. But by no means surprising, given this is 4chan.

Remember when OP wasn't a fag?

No, me neither.

I don't use kek, but you make a good point, so I might start using lol.

>>5750516
Kek, who the fuck cares?

Only reason to get butthurt over words is if they are used in a formal setting.

It's the internet, there ain't noany reason to type correctly as along as people can understand what you're trying to convey.

I use "lol" all the time on this site. If someone just replies with ">lol", whatever they had to actually say probably wasn't worth reading anyway lol

>>5750712
On the web & chins, though, it only truly emerged as a deformation of "lel"

Kek makes me kek, so I just kek along with the other kekkers

>kek
>not using the superior pup
>superppup

4chan is in a constant state of linguistic, comedic and cultural progression in order to stay ahead of the internet curve.

It helps we have Reddit right on our tail, and 9gag right on THEIR tale.

4chan humor is already essentially incomprehensible to the indoctrinated pleb. It is only a matter of time until our language is similarly unintelligible.

>why do you let your language be dictated by a social standard?

Nothing wrong with participating in your community.

I still use pfftthaha

>not using wwwwwwwwwwww

language = culture
culture = language

no matter how refined you believe yourself to be, you are still going by some "social standard"

that's unless you reject culture altogether

>>5750590
Holy shit is that really the guy`

Yes he's a famous and successful redditor now.

>>5753851
What guy?

>not zzzzzzz

>>5753850
language ∈ culture
culture ∉ language

That's why it's so fun. All you have to do is lurk for a few months to learn it and then you just have to keep up with it.
It's nice how online communities experience these progressions faster than any other communities before them.

The little fuckhead kid on the computer that does the same thing. He has a disease which makes him keep doing that 24/7.

I call forward a suggestion to replace the stale 'kek' with 'alooughi looughi'

all in favor 'alooughi looughi'
