These memes as seen above relate to my target audience because they all involve glasses, and have fun and quirky ways about them. All of my memes include a playful trend or styling of glasses. There is a digital aspect to each of them that suggests a more futuristic take on sunglasses. According to Davidson, “A single, theoretical ideal dictates characteristics down to individual manifestations” (133). These ideals apply to my memes because they forecast a digital age of eyewear, even some styles lately have been reflected as futuristic looking. The trends are manifested by the memes. My identified memes’ behaviors come from Knowyourmeme.com in the sunglasses section, the “Deal With It” meme originates from something awful and it is spread through gifs on text and social media. The clout glasses originate from the ability to impact a community or group of people. It is spread through physical wear but does in fact have a futuristic feel to it. The meme that is the most digital originates from CSI Miami, and it is purely made out of figures on a computer. The manifestation of these memes is a futuristic and bigger, more reflective, cutting edge version of eyewear. The new and emerging form of eyewear appeals to the fashionistas because it is well paired with up and coming streetwear, and these are the new trends that we must prepare for, influenced by technology.
