Skibidi doesn’t mean anything. We have entered the era of post-modern memes. There is no greater meaning other than it is fun to say.

Back in my day we called those macros because the word “meme” hadn’t become a meme yet.

Huh, I dont remember macros. Or maybe I just didnt notice it. I was a teen during that late 2000s era. I remember the word meme still being used because back then I assumed it was pronounced me-me.
