Lessons in Meme Culture

Lessons in Meme Culture, or abbreviated as LIMC, is an Australian educational YouTuber known for his videos where he explains memes and their history, similar to Behind The Meme, except commonly being claimed as better.
He also owns Lessons in Internet Culture, or LIIC, where he documents what's happening on the internet, hence the name.
== Website ==
In June 2023, Lessons In Meme Culture published a imageboard website titled "Thugchan" . It reopened in November 2023.
The website's purpose is to share "the funniest memes". The website is hosted by an Australian friend of Lessons in Meme Culture who edits his videos sometimes.
==About==
On June 6, 2017, Lessons in Meme Culture made his channel but he didn't upload any video until a year later on June 24, 2018, when he uploaded a video explaining the meme about people thanking bus drivers.
On February 22, 2020, Lessons in Meme Culture made a video about the Ice Age baby meme. On March 1, 2020, he made a video explaining Npesta's reaction after beating Kenos.
He created Lessons in Internet Culture in August 25, 2021, and uploaded on the same day, where he explains the Milk Crate Challenge on TikTok.
The Lessons in Meme Culture channel reached 1 million subscribers in December 2021.
== Criticisms and Controversies ==
=== Ruining Memes ===
Much like the website , LIMC has been criticized for allegedly "ruining memes" both by demystifying their origins (explaining the joke) and by making unwanted newcomers get in on the joke. Examples of this backlash are shown on his videos on One Piece C*ck, Animan Studios, Thug Shaker videos, and Glaggleland.https://youtu.be/C2Ln_2ZzI8Q?si=3fw3-hPN3acRvEQ6
==Collaborations==
Lessons in Meme Culture made many collaborations including:
* A video with So Good where they explain the froggy chair meme.
* A video with SumitoMedia where they explain Fred The Fish meme.
* A Video with Internet Historian where Internet Historian explains the "woah" meme.
==Trivia==
*The background music in LIMC's videos is "Pandemic" by CHRISRGMFB, first appearing in October 2020. He started using the 2021 remix of the song in late January 2022.
**Before CHRISRGMFB's Pandemic came along, he often used Nihilore's music (Bush Week and Endless Blue are most frequently used).
**In Lessons in Internet Culture's videos, the background music used is Beyond Our Control by Cyberbear.
*Interestingly, he doesn't appear to use/own any kind of social media (except YouTube, of course).
