Not to be that guy, but the top image is AI generated so this might be pushing the definition of “antique meme” a little. Stable diffusion is only like three years old right?

It is a recreation of the same meme from around 2002.
It was made by me in Microsoft paint.
Thanks so much for not being that guy by being that guy.
Show me the no recreating vintage memes rule to bring them back from the past.
This is a fun community, to remember the old meme days, not the Olympic meme trials. 😂🤣🤣😂
What have you contributed to this community so far?
I myself am trying to keep it going because its FUN.
“Submissions should be vintage memes or commentary about vintage memes. Commenters are advised to appraise the internet value and provenance meme antiquities.”
This post probably does count as “commentary about vintage memes,” but my comment also counts as an appraisal of the provenance of the meme. I can make it more appraisal sounding:
“While at first glance this appears to be an “I am the night” meme from the late 2000s early 2010s, closer inspection of the top image shows signs of being AI generated meaning this meme is much more modern. Fortunately antique memes are often more about the vibes, themes, and format of antique memes so it is likely this meme will gain several dozen upvotes in this community”
