This was maybe true 7 years ago or so. But I can't name a single meme that has come out of 4chan since Soyjaks went out of fashion (and I honestly think Soyjaks directly killed 4chan's relevance to wider internet culture.)

Q-anon is probably the biggest one.

Check out the HBO documentary 'Q: Into the Storm'.
