SUBJECTS: "selfie stick", "planking" and "the dress (with many colours)"
T H E M E ' S:
> LOSING SIGHT OF REALITY >> The meme's have in common that the people who are executing the meme's are losing sight of reality. >>> SELFIE STICK / makes people forget where they are; there is only them and the selfie (stick). >>> PLANKING / makes people do crazy stuff that could lead to their dead. They are losing sight of reality by trying to do the "coolest" plank. >>> DRESS / people are so astonished by the colour of the dress that it becomes their world. People are losing sight of reality by drowning in the colour of the dress, they are obsessing about it.
> DROWNING >> The meme's have in common that people are drowning in them and by this are losing sight of reality. Only the meme exist. People are drowning in the meme: the meme is everywhere and everything. >>> SELFIE STICK / Me, my selfie and myself. Whenever ánd wherever. People are drowning in their own selfies. Everything is a selfie. It has become their world. >>> PLANKING / It doesn't matter what kind of crazy and dangerous things I have to do to achieve the perfect plank. I NEED TO DO THIS. I. P. L. A. N. K. ! People are drowning in their obsession to plank. It has become their world. >>> DRESS / It is blue. It is blue. They are crazy. It's blue, blue, blue!! BLUE! EVERYTHING IS BLUE! People are drowning in the question if the dress is blue or gold. It has become their world.
> OBSESSION >> The meme's have in common that people are obsessing about them and by this are losing sight of reality. Only the meme exist. The meme = everything. >>> SELFIE STICK / SELFIE, ME ON PICTURE! People are obsessing about taking selfies. Of everything there has to be a selfie. Of everything there has to be photographic evidence (prove?). >>> PLANKING / NEED TO MAKE COOLEST PLANK EVER! People are obsessed about planking. >>> DRESS / IT IS BLUE GVD! People are obsessed about the color of the dress and how other people can see an other color. ^> (Really similar to drowning)
> PROVE >> The meme’s all want to prove something: prove that you where there, prove that you are the most original and prove that you’re right. >>> SELFIE STICK / Prove that you where there. >>> PLANKING / Prove that you are the most original. >>> DRESS / Prove that you’re right. NOTE: As you will have seen the themes are similar. The themes flow into one another.
These theme's resulted one main theme: Warped Reality. Our meme's have in common that they are causing an obsession that's so strong it changes the reality of the executer. People are drowning in the possible selfie's around them. People don't see chairs or tabels, but possibilities to plank. And not only the dress is certainly gold / white, but the whole world. People are swallowed by these meme's. They've tumbled into a new world, a new reality where the selfie stick, the planking society or the dress rule. Their reality has warped.
