About
Meme Chimera, also known as Crossover Meme, is an internet slang expression referring to images that combine two or more meme templates, which are typically used to create an absurd narrative.
Origin
On Semptember 14th, 2017, Redditor [1] Lithium1024 posted an image called "Heartbreaking story" that combined Powder that makes you say yes, I Killed a Man comic and You Don't Surf on /r/bonehurtingjuice subreddit. Within one month, the post (shown below) received more than 9,300 points (91% upvoted) and 90 comments.
Spread
Though the image wasn't a considered a traditional Bone Hurting Juice meme, one moderator of the subreddit, kiribizia, approved its posting for creativity and meta_[2]. That day, user TempusCavus launched the subreddit /r/MemeChimera[3] for memes such as this.
Over the following days, similar posts were appearing on both, /r/bonehurtingjuice and /r/MemeChimera subreddits. On September 26th, Redditor[4][5] Jackattack413 posted the first part of a Meme Chimera on /r/bonehurtingjuice and received more than 1,100 points (97% upvoted) and 60 comments in less than a month (shown below, right). The second part (shown below, right), posted on October 5th, received more than 200 points (98% upvoted) in three weeks in the /r/2juicy4bones[6] subreddit.
