Kannercore alternatively referenced as Leo Kanner Memes Kannerhumor ,Kannermemes and more obsenly as Autistic Humor,denotes a collection of memes, inside jokes and humor cultivated by students from Leo Kannerschool, primarily spanning the years 2012 to 2017. Distinguished by its penchant for absurdism, direct humor, edgyness and a notable prevalence of memes generated by the students themselves, Kannercore represents a distinct corpus within the realm of internet culture. While ostensibly autonomous, Kannercore exhibits notable overlaps with the Dutch cultural phenomenon known as the "Neppe Shit Show." Some scholars posit a causal relationship, suggesting that the emergence of the Neppe Shit Show is intricately linked to the antecedent influence of Kannercore. Kannercore is also infamous for its contrarianism towards popular memes of the past, such as "Arthur's Fist," "Dat Boi," and "Primitive Spongebob," The disdain towards these mainstream memes within Kannercore can be attributed to a desire for authenticity and originality. rather than stale memes that where often a product of 9GAG, Tumblr and Facebook Rather than participating in the rapid consumption and replication of easily digestible internet content, This preference aligns with the broader ethos of the Kannercore movement, which values individuality and nonconformity over conformity to prevailing trends.
While elements of Kannercore may have permeated Viadalvian cultural spheres to a certain extent, the converse phenomenon wherein Viadalvian cultural motifs significantly impacted Kannercore remains negligible.
Background
Meme usage in the LKS
In 2012, the online landscape within the Leo Kannerschool was predominantly shaped by the influence of 9GAG, which held a virtual monopoly as the go-to platform for meme consumption. A staggering 50% of the school's student body found themselves immersed in the humor and entertainment provided by 9GAG's extensive collection of memes. Following closely behind were independent meme websites, including Memecenter and Memebase, which collectively captured the attention of 38% of students. While Facebook, held a relatively modest 3% share of the student meme market, there were also various other websites scattered across the remaining 1%.
However, as the digital landscape evolved, so too did the meme culture within Leo Kannerschool. The rise of platforms like 4chan and Reddit heralded a shift in the meme paradigm, challenging the conservative tendencies of the school's meme culture. While stalwarts like Trollface and rage comics persisted until 2016, the emergence of individuals like Shady Morsi, who derided the traditional meme culture as "very cringe normie stuff," marked a significant turning point. Morsi, de facto leader of the students frequenting 4chan, introduced elements of 4chan's unique culture into real-life interactions, using phrases like "Shadilay" as greetings, thereby reshaping the linguistic and cultural landscape of the school.
Simultaneously, platforms like Instagram gained prominence among students, ushering in a wave of "normie humor" that challenged the established order. This seismic shift resulted in a redistribution of meme consumption, with 9GAG's dominance dwindling to 26%, closely followed by Instagram at 25%. Facebook retained a respectable 20% share, while 4chan surged to claim 18% of the meme market within Leo Kannerschool. Reddit, with its distinct community and content, captured 9% of the student body's attention, signaling a diversification of meme preferences. Meanwhile, a portion of students opted for alternative platforms or continued to frequent independent meme websites,
Major memes
Major memes refers to a category within the cultural fabric of a school, extending their reach beyond isolated pockets of recognition to achieve widespread notoriety throughout the entire student body. These memes transcend fleeting trends, enduring for substantial periods—often exceeding six months—thus embedding themselves deeply within the collective consciousness of the school community. What distinguishes major memes is not only their longevity but also their collaborative origins,
Ahmad the Butcher
Ahmad the Butcher has become a notorious figure, existing as both as an image and a deeply entrenched urban legend within the school. The tale revolves around a purportedly devout halal butcher employed at the local Albert Heijn store, conveniently located adjacent to the school grounds. According to the legend , Ahmad's sinister modus operandi involves targeting unsuspecting sophomores who dare to venture into the store seeking alcohol. It's alleged that Ahmad swiftly dispatches these hapless individuals before callously transforming their flesh into "halal" meat for sale.
This meme purportedly originates from seniors who have devised a clever stratagem to dissuade sophomores from indulging in the purchase and consumption of alcohol.
Dolphinfucker
Dolphinfucker was a nickname affectionately bestowed to the then principal Douwe Splinter, within the school community. This whimsical epithet emerged from a rather innocuous source – Splinter's profile picture, capturing him in a moment swimming alongside dolphins. However, in the humorous minds of many students, this serene image morphed into a comical misinterpretation, leading to the association of Splinter engaging in unconventional activities with his aquatic companions. Despite its origins in jest, "Dolphinfucker" became emblematic of the endearing quirks and memorable moments that enriched the school's collective identity.
