I would settle for Lemmy understanding how to use this meme.

Yeah, OP kind of got this backwards.

I assumed it meant that 2012 was too new.

Unless they just forgot a hyphen. There's a big difference between "post-2012 era memes" and "post 2012 era memes".

Just before joining Lemmy, I made a modern updated version of this comic if that helps.

Are 10 yr old memes really considered vintage?

[–] MetalFingers@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

10 years might as well be a hundred in internet time

10 years is good enough for scotch, and at 25 it's a classic. So ya seems as good a bar as any.
