If you’ve had your ear to the blockchain lately, you might have heard something faint in the distance. No, not the weeping sound of a moonboy who sold Fartcoin at 1 million MC, or the drunk divorced dad who accidentally sent their entire MetaMask balance to a burn address. It’s the sound of bad memecoins dying. And it’s not just a whimper either. It's dramatic, drawn-out, frenzied and uncomfortable – like a badger caught in a pillowcase.
For years, low-effort memecoins were the Joker card of crypto. They made us laugh, they made – some of us – rich, and built thriving communities full of wild people. But in 2025? That magic is well and truly gone, like a sad magician doing a free gig at at a pub on a Monday morning. They're annoying, pointless, and barely anyone is paying attention anymore.
And if you're a project builder still pushing out lazy, no-soul meme projects thinking you're about to be the next PEPE or WIF — I'm here to tell you: like a mosquito in a swimming pool, you're about to be dead in the water.
Why Memecoins Are Dying in 2025
Let’s be honest — most memecoins today are the DeFi equivalent of microwaved leftovers. You’ve got your 9,000th dog-inspired coin, your Trump token, or worse — something that references a five-minute-old TikTok trend and expects investors to ape hard. Most of them are of course scams, but some are genuine attempts by project owners to capitalise on a trend they don't understand. While those kinds of launches might’ve worked in the Wild West of 2021, the community isn’t biting anymore. The appetite for nonsense has worn thin, and even the diehard degens are starting to wake up and smell the vodka. In an industry where most low-energy memecoins barely make it 24-hours, and the slightest bit of pressure makes them fold like origami, if your your project can’t articulate even a basic memecoin marketing strategy, you’re in trouble.
Fun fact – an estimated 5,000+ coins launch every single day (mostly on Solana, thanks a lot Pump.Fun) Another fun fact is that roughly 25% will have rugged by the time you finish this blog post. Most aren't even trying – just mentioning amusing things that happened and linking to an X post about it so they can pop their grubby hands into investor pockets. Most others that put in about 2% more energy are just re-skinned Doge or PEPE clones with zero vision, zero personality, and zero voice.
After watching Trump, Melania, and Milei turn memecoins into international headlines for all the wrong reasons, just like Elvis, trust has left the building and is dying on the toilet. However, if you're a project owner who wants to release a token using an actual memecoin marketing strategy beyond the release and pray method, then you need one specific thing.
A great memecoin content writer.
What a Memecoin Crypto Writer Actually Does
First, no, memecoin crypto writers don’t just write 'edgy tweets' (although they can do that too). A proper crypto writer is part strategist, part satirist, part chaos conductor, and they know how to make your memecoin stand out.
They are the written artists who take your pixel art frog and give it a soul, a story, and a voice people want to actively follow — not just invest in for a quick 3x. You want your project to go viral? Then it needs more than just a meme – it needs narrative momentum. It needs tonal narrative and it's own lore. It needs content that hits the cultural nerve. And that’s not something you can just copy-paste from another token’s Telegram or fake through a template if you want longevity.
The truth is we are entering a strange hybrid era in the next-gen of meme projects — one where people come for the culture but stay for the intention. They want to see that you’ve gone beyond the brain rot Doge-esque 'it is meme let us fun' plan, to an actual roadmap that likely includes some useful utility. And then you need someone to sell that vision – like a good memecoin writer.
Beyond a lot of industry insiders, projects like PEPE and WIF have lasted so long because they are full of rich lore, callbacks, meta jokes, and inside-circle culture that sticks. The community aren't just investors, but full and willing participants who spread the word like wildfire because they feel like they are on the inside of the circle – and they have damned good writer who crafts viral memecoin content that helps sell that vision. At first glance the writing might look rough, but it's done that way by design to tap into the tonal vision. In contrast bad writing is just bad, and everyone can see it – like a mouse under a car tyre, it's flat, dead, and awkward.
So please, no more 'To the Moon' or 'Fren' or 'WAGMI' – no one wants to hear it. If your coin can’t make people laugh or make them want to ape without regurgitating Reddit from 2021, it’s not a memecoin – it's a corpse with a ticker. You want to know how to make your memecoin stand out and go viral? Then again, you need (drumroll)...
...A memecoin crypto writer.
Final Thoughts from a Memecoin Writer Who Gets It
If your memecoin has decent art, a half-decent dev, and a community ready to shill — without strong content, it’s not going anywhere except down. Because attention is the true currency now, and without viral memecoin content, no one's paying any. The landscape is too saturated, and the average holder has seen too many rugs, scams, and soulless tokens to get excited by another half-baked meme idea on life support. If your content doesn’t hit hard, move fast, or meme with meaning, you’re just another noise in the void.
That’s why your memecoin doesn’t just need a writer — it needs a memecoin content writer. Someone who understands the culture, knows how to build tone, injects story, crafts community narratives, and ultimately, writes crypto content that converts. It’s not about making your coin sound smart. It’s about making it sound alive. And in a sea of derivative trash, that’s what gets people to stop scrolling.
Your memecoin needs words with teeth, jokes with depth, and strategy with soul that perfectly match the meme it's based on, retrospective or new. Otherwise, it's just another web3 tombstone on Solana. If you’re reading this and realising you’ve already committed some or all of these sins and your token is somehow still trading — it’s not too late. There’s still time to pivot.
Here’s how to fix it: Hire a crypto content specialist. Someone who gets tone, timing, and how to get people emotionally invested in something that started as a joke. Have them cover your blog, socials, announcements lore, pitch deck — the whole lot. Because then it's all tied together with the same voice. Even if that voice is utterly absurd. Especially if it's absurd.
A good crypto memecoinwriter will help you build something worthwhile and create viral memecoin content that works. Low-effort memes are dead, and no one is at the funeral. It's time to do it better.
