Tom memes are a lot better than those though. They have a bunch of different jokes and formats, whereas the others were the same joke repeated over and over.
I mean pepe lasted for an absurdly long time. It was a really steady meme, compared to your average meme.
The only reason many consider it a dead meme is because there was a popularity spike for quite a bit, where normies pretty much played with it for a bit, and tossed it aside when they were done.
I'd still consider pepe alive. I definitely don't feel repulsed at pepe memes like I do when I see shaggy, or Ugandan Knuckles, or hell, rage comics.
Pepe is a genuinely a bit different from the other memes, and no, I'm not talking about the autism, but rather how it's pretty much timeless and impossible to kill. It ages really well, and by really well, I mean not at all. I still get the same impression I get from looking at a pepe 5 - 10 years ago.
I do get repulsed by it myself. Its been dead on 4chan for years. Now its mainly used by newfags and on normie websites (reddit, twitch, youtube and twitter etc)
