As creatives and innovators, we're constantly on the lookout for the next big thing. From the latest fashion to popular TV shows, we want to stay ahead of the curve and be a part of the latest pop culture trends.

We've seen it all: zombies, vampires, a rolodex of superheroes, and even that long, weird stint with pirates… But how do we predict what's coming next?

Our prediction? Meme culture will become the next big Hollywood film genre.

Memes are ubiquitous on the internet. As internet culture continues to evolve, it's becoming increasingly apparent that memes are more than just a passing trend – they're shaping the way we communicate and consume media.

Everything we consume has a meme component. The big game, the award show of the moment, that terrible reality show we love to hate - not even politics are safe.

One interesting development in meme culture is the idea of adapting popular memes into full-length movies. Imagine taking a meme with millions of likes, such as the "distracted boyfriend" or "woman yelling at a cat" meme, and turning it into a full-blown Hollywood production. Far-fetched concept? No sir. See: Cocaine Bear, now playing in theaters near you, and raking in box office money ($54.3 Million as of 3/6). Learn more about how it started as a meme here: shorturl.at/qrLR1

It's not just movies, either. Memes are slowly being adapted into other forms of media, such as video games and books. While some might scoff at the idea of memes becoming a legitimate genre, it's clear that they're here to stay.

Memes are a part of our daily lives, and they're only going to become more ingrained in our culture as time goes on. Who knows - maybe your next meme will win an Academy Award one day. ?‍♂️
