About the Author

The day my Father got an Instagram remains vivid in my memory because it was the same day my phone finally started blowing up with notifications. Unfortunately, the notifications weren’t from my devastatingly gorgeous 10th grade crush. They were from my dad asking me a million questions about memes.

Hi, My name is Alexandra Feller and whether you are 14 or 40, I am here to teach you about the most complex memes in the book, where they came from, and how they work. Kids, feel free to forward this to your parents so they can finally stop embarrassing you on social media. Your welcome.

I’m calling it Memeology. It is crucial to understand memes as they are a direct reflection of the culture we live in. Knowing thy meme is hard, but don’t worry some of us are up to date. As a Journalism and Media Studies major at Linfield college, I am well qualified and excited to break this topic down for you folks.
