Starter pack (meme)
A starter pack, also referred to as a starterpack or starter kit, is an internet meme meant to describe or illustrate a stereotypical person, place, culture, object, or opinion.[1]
History[]
The starter pack meme originates back to September 27, 2014 when a Twitter user under the username of ItsLadinaPlis posted the "I Date Black Guys Starter Pack". The name, "starter pack", was originally used for sets of collectibles to start a collection, however, the name "starter kit" for usage of memes dates back to 2011 on use of "crazy cat lady" lolcat memes.[2]
Starter pack memes are now most popular on Reddit on the "starterpacks" Subreddit.
Structure[]
A starter pack usually consists of 4 or more images. Text is sometimes added in for context.
