About

What Kind of Gamer Are You? is a series of memes that parody a skewed perception of time between game releases, expressed by referring to games released a decade ago as "ancient." In memes, the phenomenon is typically parodied through comical exaggeration.

Origin

Prior to April 11th, 2018, an unknown user posted a Gamer Joker meme titled, "What kind of gamer are you?" The meme distributed 15 popular games from the past 12 years between three Jokers portrayed by Jared Leto, Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson, labeled, "New school," "Old school" and "Ancient Gamer," respectively (shown below).

On April 11th and 12th, Know Your Meme[1][2] users Artichoke and RandomMan archived the meme on the site, with the post garnering over 4,500 views and 23,200 views in five years.
