The Kiffness' five-step guide to reaching meme-kween status

Lockdown parody videos, satirical tunes about white privilege and assuring people that no, Cat Stevens is not his biological dad aside, The Kiffness (aka David Scott aka founder of the eponymous Cape Town-based electro act) has become synonymous with #trending social-media posts owing to the oke's too-kiff-to-be-miff™ meme expertise.

From calling out Constantia moms disregarding the Mother City's "no baths during the water crisis" ruling to paying tribute to Lay's discontinued salt-and-vinegar flavour, The Kiffness' knack for creating relatable memes has struck a chord with us Saffas.

Here's an intro to meme-ing-101 courtesy of the face behind the verified ticks: 

1. Don't let your memes be dreams.

2. Never force an idea.

3. Always punch up. Never punch down.

4. Separate yourself from your ego.

5. Share what you enjoy or find interesting, not what you think others might enjoy or find interesting.

SCOTT SHARES FIVE OF HIS KIFFEST MEMES

1. NICK MALLET/GEORGE CLOONEY

This is a very silly meme. I always thought Nick Mallet looked a bit like George Clooney, so I wanted to share this idea in a tongue-in-cheek way.

I'm proud of this meme because I laughed more at his retort than my initial tweet. I think it's very important to be able to take what you dish out.
