The Memeology Guide

Since my vision of memeology implies a dense terminology and loads of concepts, it might be quite difficult for understanding; this for sure creates a high barrier to entry. Because of that barrier I decided to create the special guide which will lead newcomers through the most significant articles, revealing the essence of the meme theory. In order to fully understand the principles of memeology, it is highly recommended to read the articles below in the following order:
  1. Shape or Meaning: Meme Classification — the most important article, explaining the basis of memes, Internet memes, postmemes, their kinds and forms, and even more.
  2. On the Nature of Memeology: Objective Quality and Formulas — how to properly estimate memes, and if is there any objective quality and criteria for this.
  3. The Meme Life Theory — the way an average meme is born, lives, and dies, and the way different types of users (memers, normies, and corporations) treat it.
  4. The Meme Singularity — an interesting, rather speculative theory about the future of memes, tied to the dramatic development of AI.
  5. On the Nature of Memeology: People and Problems — thoughts on the current state of memeology and known memeologists.
  6. The Memeologist Manifesto — the list of my views on memeology and memes in the form of a manifesto.
To sum up everything above, you can also use the glossary.

The Loss Ratio and Minimalist Memes

Image
Loss has become one of the most abstract, universal, minimalistic, and long-lived memes for many years. It is remarkable by that it is a symbol meme which image is incredibly easy to remember and represent. Simple, even strict forms make it elementary and brilliant as well. Having a whole story about a human misfortune under a memorable image, it has been gaining fame and "dying" for innumerable times, then becoming popular, then leaving underground again. It is worth thinking about, but this meme exists since 2008. During its ten-year history, the Loss has traveled an incredibly long journey, from a simple joke to an abstract meme and even a new golden ratio. To understand the whole essence of the Loss, it is necessary to dive deeper into the history of its origin. Initially, it was just a reflection of the life situation of Tim Buckley, whose girlfriend had a miscarriage. After this, Buckley drew the legendary 4 frames, but the comic triggered rather an ambiguous reac...

Друг: The Rise and Fall of Russian Memes

Image
Which one are you out of your friends? Truck freak, Crazy ass, The fighter, or maybe друг? Using the Russian word meaning "friend", друг is especially dear to the inhabitants of that cold country, including me, so I could not pass by this meme, as it is a weighty reason of introducing the Russian memes, their features and problems. When a meme from the west comes to Russia, it is the norm, but a leak of our meme abroad is a whole event that happens once in a blue moon. This is the first time when a Russian meme has transcended the boundaries of the so-called "mass memes", and in the case of Russia, such memes mock stereotypes, communism, and hypertrophied soviet culture. Although this meme does not belong to the realm of surreal memes, it technically has certain similarities, and is pretty abstract. Paradoxically, the first Russian meme of such an orientation was originally created abroad, and not even by a Russian person. Друг was made by a Twitter user @korol...

Hotline Miami 2: The Art of Level Editor

Image
In the first half of the 80's, the developers started adding level editors to their games (Lode Runner, Excitebike, Mind Strike, and others). They are based on the philosophy of the intervention, where the player acts not as a passive gameplay participant (who takes action, but is also limited by certain boundaries), but as an absolute creator, the architect of game reality. Nowadays, when game development is accessible as never before, and fan content weighs a lot, official game editors and SDKs are not a surprise. Often they offer an effective tool for creating own levels, distinctive and authentic. However, the point of custom levels is that they, unlike mods, expand the already available mechanics or put them at a different angle. Sometimes such editors exist separately from the game, which allows players to explore the mechanics way deeply, vanishing borders between custom levels and mods. If video games could be art, then the fan levels may have an artistic value, too. ...
