Remember These Two Evolution Meme

Remember these two? “The Virgin Walk” Hair seems to overreact to wind Head craned forward Shoulders visibly slouches Back slouched Stiff, straight arms Little arm movement Looks below parallel Avoids eye contact, and looks away immediately if accidental Too polite, gives too much space for oncoming traffic Struggles to find comfortable hand form Might be too tense and rigid Walking pace/form lacks fluidity because of the struggle to “autowalk” Walks too fast Compulsively needs to pass anyone walking slightly slower than him Long strides Bonus: Clothing is all neutral coloured. Wears running shoes with no socks “THE CHAD STRIDE” Hair figured out how to always look everyone in the eye at all times Does not register the emotions or feelings of others at all Intentionally slaps and batters incoming traffic to make his own path Hands always prepared to grab nearby article of clothing Walking form is inspired by Greek statue, perpetually in the “contrapposto” Rapidly enters groups in “going to the store” Does not feel the need to pass anyone because he’s already brutalized everyone nearby into submission Tiny beetle-like stride Hair has been firmly fastened to never react to wind or any laws of physics Head at a perfect vertical angle at all times Has never heard a song in his entire life Arms constantly flailing in confident, unpredictable ways Back is so straight you could measure structural foundation with his spinal cord MANDATORY: Wears visually-patriotic tight neon shoes. Does not register to grab anyone’s shoes. No one alive can insist his posture and get away with it. Does not read stupid shit drawn by Quentin OUCH! NOOOOOOOOO!!! YOU CANT ARTIFICIALLY INFLATE THE ECONOMY BY CREATING MONEY TO FIGHT AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN!!! YOU CAN’T JUST CHANGE MARKET SIGNALS BY USING MONETARY POLICY!!! YOU ARE DISTORTING THE NATURAL RATE OF haha money printer go brrrrr This is them now, feel evolved yet?

The meme compares “the Virgin Walk,” portrayed as awkward, tense, and overly self-conscious, with “the Chad Stride,” portrayed as absurdly confident, chaotic, and physically exaggerated. The lower panel jokes that the anxious economist who objects to artificially creating money has evolved into someone happily celebrating the money printer going “brrrrr,” mocking simplified internet debates about monetary policy and inflation. It is used as a reaction to ironic personal or ideological “evolution” and exaggerated transformation memes.
