AA5B,

I’m not entirely sure what meaning is intended but most of the characters in the top far predate Cartoon Network

For example: Flintstones: 1960; Cartoon Network 1992. We’re closer to the founding of Cartoon Network than Flintstones was

When cartoon network launched in the 90s, it was filled with classic cartoons, so another generation of kids remember the Flintstones, Jetsons, etc. from their childhood.

Wojacks > Rage faces

Rage faces were even kind of cringe at the time.

swagamuffin,

Wojaks are a billion times cringier to me. At least rage faces have the nostalgia factor.

First off, Wojacks ⊂ Rage faces. Rage faces are a wider and more diverse set, that includes the original wojack (and all the wojacks by extension) so they offer more possibilities; both cringe and non-cringe. Beside, they were more often than wojacks used in comics with several pannels and characters. More wojacks are used in single pannels constituting reaction pics or criticisms of a type of people.

In a way, wojacks are the heirs to Rage Comics, but they’ve adapted to a web in which we consume memes more quickly and in greater amounts, hence why they’re suited to smaller templates.

ramenshaman,

I really don’t like the current era of memes.

clearleaf,

There definitely is nostalgia for rage comics but it’s more in a “I miss being that retarded” kind of way.

qwamqwamqwam,

If you remember those, you are now a depressed anxious wreck with a decimated attention span.

Rage comics fed and thrived on negativism to an extreme. Other memes templates like Advice Animals did too, but not to such an extend.

Someone should write a thesis about that.
