Didn't say anything about better or worse, but someone from the 80s would not find memes funny. You need to be a meme connoisseur to appreciate most memes. Even among my friends very few understand the shit posts you folks post.

I'm from the 80s and I enjoy quite a lot of memes. We invented them (probably), us people from the 80s, you know.

Dude. You're not from the 80s. You're from today. I mean if you brought someone from the 80s to today.

Ah, like Back to the Future or Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

I think they'd still enjoy the memes, if you gave them a chance to see some of the reference material for the in-jokes.
