    If you remember those, you are now a depressed anxious wreck with a decimated attention span.

      Rage comics fed and thrived on negativism to an extreme. Other memes templates like Advice Animals did too, but not to such an extend.

      Someone should write a thesis about that.

    I’m not entirely sure what meaning is intended but most of the characters in the top far predate Cartoon Network

    For example: Flintstones: 1960; Cartoon Network 1992. We’re closer to the founding of Cartoon Network than Flintstones was

      When cartoon network launched in the 90s, it was filled with classic cartoons, so another generation of kids remember the Flintstones, Jetsons, etc. from their childhood.

    I really don’t like the current era of memes.

    There definitely is nostalgia for rage comics but it’s more in a “I miss being that retarded” kind of way.

    Wojacks > Rage faces

    Rage faces were even kind of cringe at the time.

      Wojaks are a billion times cringier to me. At least rage faces have the nostalgia factor.
