Am I too late for the old memes?

Never late. This one is completely new for me
- Yeah same here. Anyone have some context or backstory with the meme so I too may partake in the funny?
  
  I’ve been around so many sites trying to figure it out but the consensus is that no one really knows… it just kind of happened. It’s a legit photo and not shopped though

looks like the whole point IS that it's just absurd, but real.

this is new to me too. I'm always up for a new-old meme! 🥰

  incidentally, it looks like the academic papers published by the the guy in the photo are in that same category . . .

- Yeah go on, ignore the massive flood in the background.
  
  Looks like sand and dirt to me.
Super villain energy right there
Nostalgia. Feels good man.
I went to high school with this dude
- Do you have a story to accompany the photo?
- If thats true, its frickin STORY TIME!
  
  Not much to tell regarding the meme but I've known him since elementary school and he's a smart dude
- Contact him and make him give an interview.
It's not too late, it's never too late
Please explain. I don’t get the joke.
- The joke is the absurdness of the photo.
  
  Older memes were more simple, meant to be weird and bizarre cause it was different from what people were used to getting from traditional media like magazines and TV... Try not to overthink it.
  
  Also shock/random humour was a lot bigger back then.
You are more likely too old for late memes. I happens to us all…
