Reject modernity
Embrace tradition
Overview
A two-panel comparison meme structured around the 'Reject modernity, embrace tradition' format. The top panel, labeled 'Reject modernity', features a close-up of a person's shocked face with a red prohibition (no entry) symbol overlaid, accompanied by the text '6-7!!!' in bold. The bottom panel, labeled 'Embrace tradition', contains three sub-panels: a left sub-panel showing a person with the text 'I AM 100 LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF YOU', a middle sub-panel with a stick figure wearing glasses and an open-mouthed expression, and a right sub-panel with another stick figure pointing excitedly at a large '69' sign, with the caption 'When the teacher tells you to flip to page 69 but you were already there'. The meme humorously contrasts the 'modern' 6-7 with the 'traditional' 69 joke, a common internet reference to the number's sexual connotation, in a school context.
Origin notes
The meme bears the watermark 'imgflip.com' in the bottom left corner, indicating it was created using Imgflip, a popular online meme generator platform. It remixes the established 'Reject modernity, embrace tradition' meme template, which typically contrasts contemporary and traditional elements. The left sub-panel in the 'Embrace tradition' section appears to use a still image from an unknown source (possibly a movie or existing meme) with added text. The stick figures are consistent with generic stick figure meme art styles, suggesting they are either original to this meme or sourced from common stick figure meme templates. The 69 joke references the number's long-standing status as an internet meme, particularly in school settings where page numbers may elicit humor.
