受惠於網際網路的發展，梗圖有越來越流行的趨勢，甚至有梗圖自動產生器可以自行製作梗圖，社群媒體上也有許多專門經營梗圖的帳號，人們開始使用梗圖做為表達意見與想法的一種方式，有嘲諷有單純娛樂，在這種條件背景下，每個人製作的梗圖都帶有個人色彩，可能引起共鳴也可能有無法理解的情況，但無法否定這已經成為一種流行文化。
目前的研究方向視角多為品牌端，將梗圖作為廣告素材的成效或成功因素。因此本研究的探討角度將視角切換至由顧客端生成的梗圖。兩者最大的差別是梗圖特質，品牌製作的梗圖是一個產品宣傳工具，積極正面且易於了解；而顧客製作的梗圖是表達個人使用體驗上最真實的想法，有讚美有批評，探討是否會對潛在顧客造成影響。
綜合上述，本研究分析的變數為，帶有自我意識的梗圖理解程度的影響、個人創意發揮之下的新奇性及攻擊性幽默，並實施問卷調查對品牌關係之影響。
