evirus Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 so i was looking at what information wikipedia had on macross zero and i found this There is also a popular phrase used on the Internet referring to Macross Zero: "Macross Zero-style!" It has appeared in several images, such as being said by John Kerry, and an edited screenshot for shutting down Microsoft Windows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macross_Zero anyone know what its talking about?

I don't think Kerry actually said it. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsARCLIGHT Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Am I so far out of the loop that the whole "Macross Zero-style!" quotes inserted into pictures rampage totally passed me by? Was it supposed to be like the "All your base" type of thing? Google turns up a big load of nothing... I wonder if this was just some sort of wikipedia spoof trivia, I know I've encountered it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 (edited) Maybe a meme from a popular forum? Maybe related to the joint strike fighter and thrust vectoring. So someone may have made a joke about turning on a dime, and thrust vectoring "owning the skies" I think the full thing goes something like: THRUST VECTORING OWNZ THE SKYS TURN ON A DIME MACROSS ZERO STYLE or THRUST VECTORING OWNS THE SKY. THIS THING CAN TURN ON A DIME, MACROSS-ZERO STYLE! ... something like that. Don't know where it came from. Why is john kerry involved? Is it to do with upgrading defense or soemthing?

Pat S Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 It's a quote from 4chan.org It was a meme about a year ago over there. You rarely see it now. We had a 4chan thread here back then, I think I posted one of the pics there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zentrandude Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Most likely its this "plan" he keeps talking about. Maybe in his plan he gets naked chicks with floating rocks into the us military that controls giant robotic flowers and destroy his enemys.

JsARCLIGHT Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Keep the politics out please. As for Graham's question a meme is, to quote Badolza, a "piece of culture" that self-propegates. Something like a song or joke that evolves and spreads like wildfire. Think "All Your Base". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zentrandude Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 If its spread like wildfire then it should be from macross 7, would be weird kerry saying BOMBA and rock out to planet dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsARCLIGHT Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Not really IMHO. A true meme is that unique cultural something that just keeps going and going and going, spawning new iterations of itself. The only example I can think of that fits perfectly is the "All Your Base" phenomenon. These days people "force" things into becoming a meme it seems. All the guerilla urge that a true meme seems to only happen once in a blue moon. For something to truly be a all out meme it has to be everywhere, not just on one retarded internet message board... It has to be on ALL the retarded internet message boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
