Not OP but if we're talking about preferences I'd say most people who don't find rehashed, samey jokes funny usually prefer jokes that take an unexpected route through a more thorough understanding of the subject they're joking about. So instead of a new itteration of "JS bad", for example, make a meme about how much better JS is than a popular language in a convoluted hyperspecific engineered circumstance where JS's normally not good properties can be engineered to be more optimal than the competition.

See, that just sounds like the same joke but done better to me. It boils down to "JS bad", just through the lens of the weird exception that makes the rule.
