Remember A Simpler Time On The Internet With These 15 Classic Throwback Memes

We here at Know Your Meme know that memes have come a long way since their debut. It's been over two decades now of constant shifting, reiterating and advancing forms of online humor, and it's easy to forget how far we've come sometimes. That's where the Twitter account Old Meme Archive comes in. This page presents a curated selection of the memes we've left behind, ranging from LOLCats to the earliest, original form of Doge.

These memes haven't completely gone away, but they're from a bygone age. They're so old they can't be considered dead, because legends never die. Yes, I just said that unironically, and you're about to witness a lot more resurrected jokes you've forgotten about as well. Whether or not you're old enough to remember them, you can enjoy some of the most dated examples below, and hopefully, it'll remind you of the simpler times back in the early 2010s. We sure miss those days.
