Meme lore
What is the 4 Y/O Me vs. Me Now meme?
4 Y/O Me vs. Me Now is a stacked two-panel drawing. Left: a kid in a blue-and-white propeller beanie (baked “4 y/o me:”) over a blond bearded adult in profile (baked “Me now:”). Right: empty white for captions. Used for then-versus-now self-owns — toys vs taxes, cartoons vs emails.
