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.

I mean look at them. To quote Raymond Gillette, nobody's that gay.
Had to look them up and came across this article and this one with some more.
I recalled this imagine instantly. Haven't seen that in awhile. I feel like I saw this originally in Rolling Stone? Too damn lazy to look it up.
Oh god I'm turning into dust as I type this out.
Remember to take your meds and to do light streches to help with the back pain.
Oh my, miss Scully!
Oh, they are from David LaChappelle. That explains a lot, though those have been uncomfortably great.
Thanks for sharing!
That shit is weird as fuck. I never knew these existed. Thanks for sharing. Seems like such a strange vibe in some of them.
It was a simpler, more innocent time.
Little did we know that's a glance of the real inner Duchovny surfacing
Did you see Duchovny in Twin Peaks?
I do not know what his real inner person is, but I guess it has always been legendary...
We haven't yet seen his final form.
I never watched the show. I know it has something to do with aliens. But I didn't know that the alien was Ziggy Stardust.
It's worth watching, if only for the historical value
I loved the monster of the week early seasons but never made it past the later seasons where Anderson and Duchovny were replaced. Is there anything worth watching past that?
Pause for info dump: Season 3 lost two of the main writer-producers, who returned in seasons 4-5, and then were gone again after Duchovny insisted on moving the show to the US. You can tell the distinct tonal shift between the seasons, and also in how Mulder is written. Season five was also intended to be the series finale, but Fox renewed it. That's a big part of seasons 6-9 being a nothing burger that often contradicts earlier canon.
With all that said, I've been watching the later seasons fully leaning into critiquing it like Statler and Waldorf. From that angle, it's been fun.
As for the reboots, I think a similar thing happened where season 1 was a successfully nostalgic bit of fan service, and then they wound up with more seasons than they knew what to do with. Watch with low expectations when you want something to fill the time, but don't want to commit full attention.
Thank you! Lol I am now both vindicated and informed!

Ahhh... The 90s were a lot of fun...
It's hard to believe it was just 10 years ago.
🥲
The short time after Reagan and before 9/11 where the US wasn't a complete piece of shit
The sex sells bit of these kind of makes sense for Duchovny since he recently did the Red Shoe Diaries (Showtime softcore porn) right before being cast for X-Files.
Still hyper-90s, if you all like this watch literally any music video around that time as well.
Didn't Duchovny check himself into rehab for sex addiction?
Californication could have been a biography from what I hear.
I think that came out after rehab, which really struck me as funny. Method acting indeed!

You can't fool me, these are the early shots from Californication.
Did they know what the show was going to be when they took these photos?
These photos were taken by David Lachapelle. This is his style, and I’ve found that a lot of his shoots are not about the subject, but about the fact that Lachapelle is shooting them. Celebrities seek him out more often than not.
These images are actually rather mild for him. In 2002 he shot a campaign for Lavazza coffee, and one of the images was a nude woman being driven on by toy dump trucks as they poured sugar and beans on her privates. Another involved a woman humping the air while grasping two rockets with the coffee brand on them, as an oiled bodybuilder flexed in the background.
It’s not my cup of tea (or coffee), but he’s gotten pretty darn famous for doing what he loves, so more power to him.
They all look like they’re stuck inside a Windows 95 screensaver!
Gillian Anderson started my Margaret Thatcher fetish.
I would so be a the little green alien in that throuple.
I want to believe.
