I'm older and not tech-savvy. Can I really create memes?

Absolutely. A 77-year-old museum curator with zero social media experience created the National Gallery’s most viral post in history—it got 9 million views. She just read a script using Gen Z slang in one awkward take, talking about art pieces she would have discussed anyway. The age excuse is dead. If you can type a sentence and have a creative thought, you can make a meme. Zero design skill is required—only creativity. Tools like Imgflip have millions of templates where you just pick one, type the words, and download in 30 seconds. Supermeme.ai will create memes from a single sentence you type. The barrier isn’t skill; it’s just giving yourself permission to be funny.
