What makes dank memes DANK?
After looking through some DANK memes, it seems to be somewhat inappropriate or should I say "offensive". Memes and DANK memes are two separate things. Most memes seems to be more friendly and humorous. At the other hand, dank memes is an ironic expression used to mock online viral media and in-jokes that have exhausted their comedic value to the point of being trite or cliché. In this context, the word “dank,” originally coined as a term for high quality marijuana, is satirically used as a synonym for “cool.”
