memelord

Internet comedy king

A memelord is someone with exceptional skill at creating, curating, or deploying internet memes—the humorous images, videos, and formats that spread virally online.

The term combines appreciation for meme fluency with gentle mockery of taking that fluency too seriously: He thinks he's such a memelord because his posts get shared.

Often self-applied with ironic swagger.
