#IM DONE MEME FREE#
Not everyone who attends Burning Man is a tech million- or billionaire, but even to attend modestly requires a decent amount of disposable income and free time.Īll of this is to say: it’s ripe to dunk on. It may have begun as a small, hippie-ish gathering in 1986 (though it only took place in the Black Rock Desert as of 1991), but now, over 30 years down the line, it’s attended by some 80,000 people who pay thousands of dollars for tickets, glamping gear, costumes, drugs and more, and who generate and leave a 100,000-ton carbon footprint in their wake every year. In case you’re somehow, blessedly, unaware, Burning Man is a roughly weeklong festival that takes place in the Nevada desert, a few hours north of Reno, in a makeshift village called Black Rock City that’s set up specifically for the festival and deconstructed at its end. But none of that is as beautiful as the quiet and calm that falls over a number of major cities with the exodus of their most annoying residents: those who go to Burning Man. This week, we’ve got Burning Man memes, Biden’s speech about the battle for the soul of our nation, Jerry Seinfeld posing for fashion brand Kith, Harry Styles talking unintelligibly about “Don’t Worry Darling” at the Venice Film Festival and, also in Venice, Chris Pines dissociating throughout the press tour for the same movie.Īh, the beginning of September: the summer begins to come to a close, the smell of new school supplies is in the air, you start to feel that fall crisp in the early hours of the morning and when it gets dark in the evening… it’s beautiful.
Enter our recurring feature, Memes, Ranked. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit. Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline.
