Know Your Meme (KYM) is an internet meme encyclopedia and online culture media site centered on its positioning as an “Internet Meme Database / Meme Encyclopedia.” It is currently owned by Literally Media Ltd. The site documents entries on memes, people, events, websites, subcultures, and more, while tracking the latest online trends through editorial articles, guides, explainers, collections, interviews, and video content.
The heart of the site is the Meme Encyclopedia: users can browse content in different statuses, including confirmed entries, submitted entries, newsworthy entries, and Deadpool entries. A typical entry covers a meme’s origin, spread, meaning, usage, related images/videos, and tags. In addition, KYM offers features such as Trending Images, Videos, Templates, Batch Uploader, Forums, Discord, Newsletter, and Meme Insider Magazine. It functions both as a reference database and as a community media platform centered on internet culture.
Based on the available content, the main site content is free to access. The site provides options to log in, register, comment, submit entries, and subscribe to mailing lists, with no mandatory paywall shown. The Meme Store may involve merchandise sales, and Meme Insider Magazine may have a separate publication model, but the available text is not sufficient to confirm specific pricing.
The strengths are its deep archive and mature entry structure, making it especially useful for tracing the origins, spread, representative examples, and remixes of English-language internet memes. It responds relatively quickly to meme culture on platforms such as Twitter/X, Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, making it highly valuable for content creators, media editors, and researchers. The drawbacks are that pages can feel cluttered, with repeated navigation and recommendation modules; entry quality can be affected by community submissions, and some newer memes may not yet be fully verified. The content is also almost entirely in English, making it less friendly for Chinese-speaking users.
It is suitable for social media managers, meme creators, overseas culture researchers, news editors, students, and anyone who wants to understand the context of English-language internet culture. If you only want to look up trending memes from the Chinese internet, KYM’s coverage is not comprehensive.
The site itself can usually be accessed directly, but many sources and embedded materials involve platforms such as X, YouTube, Reddit, and TikTok, so related media or external links may not load completely in mainland China. As a result, reading text entries is generally fine, but the experience may be limited when trying to examine original evidence of how a meme spread.
