You're right about the meme but "Simpsons being bad is just a meme, the last few seasons are actually good" is also a bit of a meme at this point. I don't think there's ever an end to it and I think everything in pop culture gets the same meme treatment. You can always find people who are for or against something, but past a certain threshhold, shared identities seem to form around these kinds of memes. For example, The Big Lebowski turned hating The Eagles into a meme. Plenty of people didn't like them already, but the movie provided something to rally around. I can only presume lots of people got burned out on The Simpsons for one reason or another and started amplifying each others' voices online, leading to the meme. The interesting thing to me is how people with little-to-no firsthand experience on which to base an opinion in the first place then simply adopt these meme opinions and identities.
