Recently, I've seen many Meme coin projects, and honestly, I can't find anything interesting anymore.
Looking back, those truly popular Memes in the early days had something special. First, there was a genuinely interesting concept or meme, and people spontaneously played with and created around it. The community gradually formed, and the coin became an accessory to that culture. Back then, people remembered the meme itself — they might forget the price fluctuations, but the humor of the joke remained. This consensus could last for several months, even a year or two, because everyone was participating in the same game.
Now? The process is all copy-paste: a concept, finding a selling point, naming it, quickly pumping the price, waiting for retail investors to follow, then dumping. The entire process is uninteresting from start to finish, with no creativity to be seen. Tokens are first artificially pumped, the so-called community is just temporarily fabricated, and before the name is even remembered, it’s already cooled off.
The real problem isn’t that these coins fluctuate too quickly, but that they simply lack a "meme" — a cultural core worth repeatedly discussing and refining. Without a true meme, no one will spread it repeatedly; without dissemination, community consensus can’t form at all. What’s left is essentially a "running game," where only speed matters.

Yeah, it just feels like everything is fast-food coins now, lacking that flavor.
The meme coins that could be played with for half a year or a year in the early days are now hardly seen. They die off really quickly.
To be honest, there's no real cultural core; it's all just routines for harvesting profits.
If this continues, meme coins will really be finished.

Basically, it's soulless, just a bunch of copy-pasted garbage.

You're so right. These days, it's all just routines, too lazy even to put real effort into scams.
At least the early meme coins still had some community culture; now it's all just a rug-pulling assembly line.
I'm tired of it. It's better to look for projects with real ideas.
This circle is like this—without memes, there's no vitality.
Same old rhythm, pump and dump, tired of playing.
Really, now even the soul of memes is gone.
Just having coins without culture—can you still call it a meme?
Once, meme coins were art; now they're just industrial products.
So boring. Let's wait for the next wave of creativity to emerge.

The memes from those early years indeed had soul, now it's all just routines to cut the leeks.
Without memes, there's no culture; without culture, it's doomed to fail. This logic is flawless.
Blowing bubbles that have already burst are just bubbles; we have to wait for the next interesting thing to appear.
Copy-pasting every day, what is this called if not innovation? It's hilarious.
You're so right. Today's meme coins are just fast-food culture—eat and forget.
Coinless tokens are destined to be passersby; I only look at projects with stories.
Repeatedly pumping and dumping, everyone involved has a gambler's mentality. This isn't even a community anymore.
I miss the spontaneous and interesting things from back then. I'm really tired of it now.

I'm already tired of it. These current meme coins are just routines with no soul.
Really, a good meme can last for two years, but today's coins can't even survive two weeks.
Exactly, coins without memes are just pure pump-and-dump schemes. I can't even be bothered to look at them.
That's why I now only focus on projects with genuine cultural accumulation; everything else is trash.
The production process of current meme coins is like an assembly line, it's really boring.
I miss those lively memes; now they've all become standardized products.
In my opinion, retail investors should realize that these are just fast food, they have nothing substantial.

The medical records show that these meme coins have evolved from cultural phenomena into pure liquidity plundering schemes. It is recommended to regularly review their actual community engagement metrics.
