The history of the most popular memes (2004-2019)

This video has dead memes in it.

EXPLANATION OF DATA COLLECTION:
How I got the data for the Abacaba me...

CORRECTIONS:
The meme labeled "Sad Frog" (~2015) is better known as "Feels Bad Man"
The meme labeled "droog / apyr" is actually "друг" or "Apyr"
The accented As in "Stefán Karl Stefánsson / Robbie Rotten" (rest in peace) mistakenly did not appear.
Due to low viewership on Know Your Meme, the "Ice Bucket Challenge" (2014) did not appear, though it most likely should have.
Similarly due to low viewership on Know Your Meme, "Ylvis - What Does the Fox Say?" (2013) also did not appear, though it also most likely should have.
Should I make an updated version of this video in the future, I'll try to correct these mistakes.
