The 4 meme tierlist

The infamous 4-tier meme list!

For those who may not be familiar, the 4-tier meme list is a humorous ranking system that categorizes memes into four tiers, with Tier 1 being the most popular and widely recognized, and Tier 4 being the least well-known or most niche.

Here's a general breakdown of what each tier typically looks like:

Tier 1: The Classics These are the memes that have been around for a while and are widely recognized. They're often used to reference popular culture, movies, TV shows, or music. Examples include:

Tier 2: The Mainstream These memes have gained significant popularity and are widely used online. They often reference current events, internet trends, or social media platforms. Examples include:

Tier 3: The Niche These memes are popular within specific online communities or subcultures, but may not be as widely recognized outside of those groups. Examples include:

Tier 4: The Obscure These memes are often limited to specific online forums, social media groups, or communities, and may not be well-known outside of those circles. Examples include:

Keep in mind that these tiers are not set in stone, and memes can move up or down the list over time as they gain or lose popularity.
