I understood the concept, of course – an image, some text, a commentary on Shared Life Experiences – but I never found the memes I saw on Twitter very funny or relatable, and I assumed this was something that brought other people joy but was just not for me. I have an embarrassing confession: for a very long time, I didn’t really understand memes.

Many of the posts play with internal stereotypes which have grown popular on Gay Twitter, such as the idea that queer people often struggle with driving, maths and caffeine addictions.
