A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Everyone should just get what makes them happy and ignore the weird shaming for driving anything other than a standard beige sedan.
Fast cars, off-road cars, big cars, small cars, electric cars, big trucks, custom wrapped/painted cars, ducked out jeeps, w/e.
What's wrong with a standard beige sedan?
Infiniti M37x is a delightful beige sedan. Big comfy, quiet, a delight in so many ways.
...you posted the meme 🤣
I figure it's mostly in good fun, just banter. You know, like jokes about your cutting edge gaming PC being used for retro games.
Damn beige sedans! they ruined beige sedans!
There are still pressing environmental reasons to shame people for driving very inefficient cars when they don't need one.
Yeah, I agree on the larger environmental goals and necessity. I suppose what I'm getting at is more of the part that feels like normative pressure and shaming eccentricities. As in, the same thing that has contributed to car colors becoming more and more bland over the years too. There's a pressure for conformity that pushes people back into their box when they stick a toe out.
I don't think it's weird for people who are pedestrians, have children, or care about the environment we live in to have some pretty strong opinions on this. Your choice to drive a big ass truck has a real implications for other people that didn't get to play a part in that decision.
I agree in principle, but I do think people should be shamed for endangering others because they want to feel cool. Large SUVs and trucks are much more dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists and such than normal cars.
Sports cars aren't inherently more dangerous for others unless you fuck with them or drive like a cock.
