It's 2010. TikTok is simply a song past Ke$ha, yous're playing Flappy Bird on an iPhone 3gs, and 1 Direction take only just formed.
Oh, and there aren't hundreds of new memes circulating the internet everyday.
Fast-forward a decade and it's impossible to count the number of internet within-jokes being shared daily.
Equally the decade comes to a close, we've done our all-time to circular up some of the most iconic memes the net has brought us over the past 10 years.
2010: YouTube
There's no denying that 2010 was a strange yr. In that location weren't *really* memes equally we know them today - but there were viral internet sensations.
One of those was a lady named Elonia - whose YouTube video singing "sitting on the toilet", while she's sitting on the toilet - currently has more than 9m views.
Warning: Third party content may incorporate adverts
"And flush" - what a finale.
The video sets a pretty standard precedent for early on 2010 memes. They were simple, poorly-produced and lacked intellectual depth.
But, at that place'southward no denying Elonia's song has been buried somewhere in our minds for 10 years, so fair play.
2011: Classic meme format
In 2011 pictures with basic text captions on them emerged.
One of the early on examples was a Futurama screenshot, with memes that followed the template: "not sure if ___, or just ___".
Looking dorsum now, information technology's surprising that nosotros ever found these funny.
2012: Overly fastened girlfriend
At that place was no escaping the simple motion picture and block text format in 2012, where the Overly Fastened Girlfriend meme was born.
It came from a YouTube video by Laina Morris, in which she sings Boyfriend by Justin Bieber only changes the lyrics to fit the graphic symbol of a crazy, possessive girlfriend.
Her character must have been pretty strong - information technology got millions of views and her creepy smile was meme-fied.
Upwardly until a few months agone, Laina Morris was yet regularly doing videos in the Overly Attached Girlfriend character.
2013: Chloe and Gavin
When nosotros were putting together this list, 2013 stood out for its contribution to memes. It was when two children, Gavin and Chloe, were introduced to the meme-sphere - and they've stood the test of time.
Chloe's disturbed expression proved to exist very relatable:
And Gavin'south often dislocated, disgruntled facial expressions saturated the internet in 2013 and - to be honest - take done ever since.
He truly is the "net'south son".
2014: 'But that's none of my business'
The meme that dominated 2014 was an epitome of Kermit the frog drinking iced tea - and minding his business.
Meet if yous can figure out how it was used:
You besides couldn't whorl for long without seeing "starter packs".
Nobody was safety from having their entire personality and style ripped to shreds by 1 of these motion-picture show grids.
They were simple, but fantastic banter.
Another special mention has to go to this iconic photograph. The streets will never forget.
Amazingly, the veiny guy patently went to schoolhouse with the Overly Attached Girlfriend.
If nothing else, they definitely once met.
Incredible endeavor from both of them there.
2015: Why you always lyin'?
2015 was the height of Vine's popularity - and it was the twelvemonth that Nicholas Fraser sang along to the melody of "Too Close" by Next.
But this wasn't whatever old singing video. Nicholas featured his own lyrics, about liars, and fabricated a dance to become with it. It went viral.
It was also the twelvemonth that Drake released Hotline Bling and his dance moves in the music video were equally memorable every bit the catchy chorus.
People added their own twists to the video...

Arguably, by then, the days of stock images with bold white text were pretty much gone - memes had become much more than nuanced.
One that was especially popular was "Arthur's clenched fist".
Like most memes, it got entirely out of hand and even ended up being fabricated into embroidery.
2016 was also the twelvemonth that "Damn Daniel" was born.
It was a great example of how to support your friends - and also make them Twitter famous.
Daniel, his friend, and his white Vans were invited on to The Ellen DeGeneres prove, and were even mentioned in a Jay-Z lyric.
2017: Blinking guy & Distracted boyfriend
2017 was as busy as ever, with far besides many memes to mention them all. But a special shoutout goes to Blinking Man.
Y'all know it well - the simple gif of a man doing a surprised, double-accept blink.
Stock image memes fabricated a resurgence in 2017, with Distracted Boyfriend incommunicable to escape.
It tackled aboriginal history...
... primary school memories....
It was too the year Radio 1 Newsbeat (that's us) did a documentary all nigh the joy of memes.
2018: Kids running memes again
1 of concluding year's biggest stars was Mason Ramsey. Or - as you might know him - the kid who yodelled in a Walmart store.
The video of Bricklayer went viral.
Stonemason definitely fabricated the most of his sudden fame. He released a follow-upwards single, appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, performed at Coachella festival and even featured on Lil Nas Ten's Old Town Road remix.

Y'all've made information technology to 2019 - congrats. Or, if you're a Facebook user, you might however exist in 2018. Nowadays memes often showtime on Reddit before making their mode to Twitter, then Instagram, WhatsApp and finally Facebook.
Oh, and their shelf life has massively decreased. Hundreds are churned out every day, unlike the start of the decade when they'd exist recycled for months on end.
They're often however self-deprecating and observational, but are simply improve - and faster - produced than in earlier years. That's why we recall 2019 was the best year for memes.
Actress Keke Palmer gave us i of the year'due south best reaction videos when she was shown a moving-picture show of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Next up: Jasmine Masters and her infamous "and I oop".
No idea what that is? 1. Have you lot been living under a rock? 2. Let the video do the talking.

They fifty-fifty got pretty meta, with memes existence referenced within other memes.
The last special mention of 2019 goes to Nicole - i of the virtually simple but effective memes of the yr.
