Even Justin Bieber is probably bigger and more known than internet memes.

That's not the same generation of consumers though. About a decade or so apart in age I reckon.

I bet hippies weren't too big or popular with the 12 year old crowd either when they were at their peak.

And BTW, Justin Bieber IS an internet meme. He was made famous through a youtube video clip that got him the attention of big producers, a contract and eventually "real" fame.
