Dead Meme

A “dead meme” refers to an internet slang term used to describe a joke, image, or video that was once popular and widely circulated on the internet but has now lost its popularity and relevance. It suggests that the meme is no longer funny or trending and has become outdated.

Examples:

1. Someone posts an old viral video on social media, thinking it’s still amusing, but their friends respond by saying:

“Dude, that’s such a dead meme. It was funny like five years ago!”
“Stop resurrecting ancient memes; we’ve moved on.”

2. A person includes an outdated meme reference in a conversation, and another person comments:

“Haha, nice try with the dead meme, grandpa.”
“That joke is so over. Get with the times!”
