The Brief: Memes highlight the breadth of experiences people are having on the social media app Clubhouse.

DEEP DIVE
As the Clubhouse app skyrockets in popularity, reaching over eight million downloads, users are sharing about their experiences via memes and comedy bits on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc.
Some of those who have yet to join the app still aren’t sure what all the hype is about.
Wait Clubhouse is literally just people talking? Like a giant phone call? Absolutely the fuck not

A common joke on the app is that many people on Clubhouse just ramble, speaking with an air of authority, but not saying anything substantial.

Clubhouse memes also note the Silicon Valley bro energy that can be found on much of the app.

It’s true, people who are on Clubhouse LOVE to talk about it.

People are sharing awkward and cringey interactions they’ve had on the app.
I got notified that someone I met on a dating app joined Clubhouse and instead of saying no to creating a room and welcoming them, I pressed yes and they also entered the room and I was v audibly saying “nooooo” at the exact moment and I’m not using that app anymore

Since Clubhouse is currently only available for iPhone users, some people with Androids are feeling left out, as seen in these memes:

Tired: Zoom fatigue. Wired: Clubhouse fatigue.
People who are jumping on club house after a day full of zoom meetings are built different.
