[ SLANG ][ MEME_CULTURE ][ NOUN ]
Deliberately reviving a meme that had already been declared dead, bringing it back either ironically or out of genuine nostalgia, usually to the mild horror of anyone who thought it was over.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Someone just committed full meme necromancy bringing back a joke from three years ago, and somehow it worked."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named playfully after necromancy β raising the dead β for the specific act of dragging a fully retired meme back into circulation once enough time has passed for it to feel funny again rather than just stale.
