An Internet meme (/mi m/ meem) is an activity, concept, catchphrase or piece of media which spreads, often as mimicry, from person to person via the Internet. Some examples include posting a photo of people lying down in public places (called "planking") and uploading a short video of people dancing to the Harlem Shake.
A meme is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture". An Internet meme may take the form of an image (typically an image macro), hyperlink, video, website, or hashtag. It may be just a word or phrase, including an intentional misspelling. These small movements tend to spread from person to person via social networks, blogs, direct email, or news sources. They may relate to various existing Internet cultures or subcultures, often created or spread on various websites, or by Usenet boards and other such early-internet communications facilities. Fads and sensations tend to grow rapidly on the Internet, because the instant communication facilitates word-of-mouth transmission.

Get the Meme mug.An internal joke over the whole internet, often in form of a picture where there is a relatable text on top of it. Memes can not be understood by someone who is not a frequent user of social media. Memes are often used in a comedic sense.

Get the Memes mug.Stuff from the internet that the 2 youngest generations (Millenials and Zoomers) will find funny. Older generations will not understand memes and if they do, they're usually Dead memes.
