"assassinate" a dying, bad meme by using it poorly, or request for that to happen.

do you hate bad memes? do you ever have the desire to physically attack them? unfortunately you cannot as the definition of a meme means that they are intangible. this subreddit is the closest you will ever come. post bad variants of memes that you want to see die so that people stop using them. if you are a parent or a teacher we will literally revere you as a god here
--- ________
no racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. in your memes or comments. you know who you are. maybe just don't talk to anybody ever again actually
no nudity in your memes
if you make a post about suggesting a meme to be killed you should probably include an example of it
flair everything
don't circlejerk too hard
keep in mind this is more a euthanasia of older, mediocre memes that are past their time. do not try and kill something as soon as it gets popular
brigade and you shall die. this includes posting to /r/PewdiepieSubmissions, /r/memes, and /r/dankmemes
no memes that are obviously ironic or you get the too spicy role of shame. unless it's saturday. then you can go wild.
no crossposts unless it's saturday. then you can go wild again.

It seems as though we've reached a point where ironic usage of old meme templates (Impact font on top and/or bottom with recognizable image) is being used unironically, likely by different users but perhaps also by those who previously used them with ironic intent as well. This has created a meme culture that is not dissimilar from the "old school" era of memes that was being made fun of to begin with.
I think ironic old meme template usage was getting a little tired but a return to form with an era that I personally find to be not very funny seems repetitive and more undesirable.
Has anybody else noticed this?
I absolutely detest seeing these. They've gotta go.
