actually the funniest part is all the people rushing in like sheep to capitalize on the same joke because they think they're funny.
Same people cringing at kids saying "67"... and yet, they can't help themselves being cringe in the exact same way. They're "boomer" in the way that they can't see, running a joke into the ground thinking it's quirky.
Okay, but that doesn't explain your response. What's the goal here?
If you're trying to make people stop imitating each other like chittering gibbons... I'm not sure it's possible. That's pretty core human nature.
Reacting to it negatively is gonna cultivate a lot of negativity. It's everywhere.
My take on meme nonsense:
Engaging with strangers at all is a little risky. You never know what's in someone's head or how they will respond, so I can't really fault anyone for taking the relatively safe path of regurgitating memes in order to connect in some way.
It's wouldn't be a meme if nobody thought it was funny. At least it's generally positive and light-hearted, intended to bring joy. Better than a lot of options.
P.S.
Sorry for the late reply. When your message first came through, I'd been up all night and couldn't read it, and I'm just remembering / summoning the energy to respond.

Do you think regurgitating a decade old canned meme response makes you funny?
Ffs, at least say something original or think for yourself.

My 4yo likes the line "teacher leave those kids alone!" She sings it quite loudly, but I don't think she quite gets the meaning of the song, hehe

For the longest time, I thought the lyrics were, "Thought's a chasm, in the classroom..."
I always had a difficult time understanding lyrics. :/
