The bold white text with a black outline, set in Impact or a similar heavy sans-serif font, became the default meme style because it's readable over almost any background — busy photo, dark image, bright image, it doesn't matter, the outline keeps the letters legible either way. That's a practical reason as much as a stylistic one: early image-sharing culture needed captions that worked reliably on whatever photo someone grabbed, without needing to pick a color that happened to contrast well. The convention has stuck around long after the practical need was the only reason, and using it (or deliberately not using it) is now itself a stylistic choice people recognize instantly.
