I often wonder why some memes become massive in the mainstream while others wither within their tiny niche communities.
There's this ephemeral relatability that something needs to have in order for not just the nerds to like it and share it, but for say, Grandma Josephine to reference it even though she's not sure what the Internet is.
We've all been that person just dumbfounded by something and unable to respond beyond a slow blink. We've all been scared of things that go bump in the night.
And we have all been grumpy AF.
I think that's because so many of these "new Grumpy Cats" don't actually have that certain undefined thing that differentiates grumpy from just plain mad.
But grumpy is a whole state of being. Sure, being grumpy may lead to things making you angry more easily, but it is not strictly anger.
I may seem like I'm splitting hairs here, but as a grump connoisseur, I like to think myself an expert on such things.
Now where's that coffee I was promised?!
