Is it necessary to use memes for online expression

2025-04-30   

"Nsdd" means "you are right". "DDDD" means "you can understand everything", expressing surprise. When asked why, you must reply "because he is good"... For some time, the "slang database" on social media has been expanding, and many netizens roast that "reading a comment area is like cracking the Morse password". Online communication has always been fragmented and humorous, and generally it is not a big deal. However, looking at the internet slang that is trending today, it has almost nothing to do with standard grammar, and many of them are tasteless and hollow memes. Either using hard abbreviations, or having a proliferation of homophones, and some being derived from hot events, full of bizarre and bizarre elements. Some internet memes are gradually infiltrating into real life, constantly affecting the language system of the masses. Especially for many minors who keep up with the trend, they are more likely to be misled by it. Why can't I talk properly when I go online? The mentality of following the trend should not be underestimated. With the advent of social networking, being unable to understand memes and follow up on them means being unable to integrate into the "circle". Especially for minors who are in the stage of identity recognition, they may be more eager to express their personality through daily language. According to media surveys, over 70% of respondents believe that teenagers have more opportunities and time to access the internet, making them more susceptible to being influenced by online hot topics. It is precisely because of this herd mentality that some people use creating and spreading memes as traffic passwords. Some marketing accounts use gibberish to ride on hot topics, some anchors use greasy expressions to establish their character designs, and some platforms are also happy to see new memes constantly emerging. Going back and forth, it seems that only those who don't understand bad memes are the "old soil" of cyberspace. The openness and inclusiveness of online culture are not without rules and bottom lines. In recent years, relevant departments have continued to carry out special actions, focusing on the non-standard and uncivilized language and writing in key links such as hot search rankings, homepage first screens, and discovery selection. The key to rectifying prominent problems is to eradicate the breeding ground for the generation and dissemination of bad internet memes from the source. It must be noted that the less profound the content, the less threshold it has, and the faster its update speed is often. Next, online platforms should still make more use of algorithm technology to ensure content quality and further squeeze the survival space of slang and bad memes. Of course, saving expressions that are "blocked" requires everyone to work together to create a healthy language environment. Dare not to be kidnapped by the so-called "internet sensation" in order to maintain our expression logic and way of thinking. The beauty of Chinese lies not only in its form and meaning, but also in its character. Speak well, communicate sincerely, and have more language awareness, which is also a contribution to cultural inheritance. (outlook new era)
