Get the Google-Imaged mug.An image posted on a social networking site that gets shared and reposted by many people.
Viral images are many times paired with a falsely attributed quote, or with a story that falls into urban legend status and is completely untrue; or at the very least, retold with a total lack of supporting facts or legitimate references.
Despite this lack of proof and facts, people repost the image over and over and many take it at face value and believe it to be the honest truth, never bothering to do a 30 second internet search that would reveal its message to be completely untrue.

Viral images are often used as propaganda with a clear bias towards one side of a cause or viewpoint (mostly political in nature).
Still, some are just a funny picture with a silly caption.
"Did you see that Viral Image of the puppy that got tattooed by that guy?" (In reality, a man who is a tattoo artist drew on his puppy's belly with a marker)

Get the Viral Image mug.An image, frequently taken by people with expensive cameras and highly likely to belong to "photographic societies" (a.k.a camera club), that has no emotional impact, social worth, entertainment value or relevance whatsoever but is perceived to display some innate skill in photography.
Essentially it's an exercise in composition over, oh I don't know - content. EXTREMELY likely to be converted to needlessly contrasty monochrome using expensive photoshop plugins that do all the work for you. And if you include diagonal lines you'll make other advocates ejaculate spontaneously because, as we all know, diagonal lines are amazeballs.
You can easily replicate this at home - find a cobbled street, or a building reflection, or literally ANYTHING that's dull as shit. Take the image, making sure you carefully remove any items of human interest, fun, variety, reportage or social meaning then turn it B&W, add an esoteric meaningless title and upload to an elitist, invite only Flickr group. From your Macbook Air.
Not to be confused with Lomography - these jokers are the arch enemies of real photographers.

Google image search for "Edward Weston Attic" - this is widely proclaimed to be a masterpiece by those who value photographer's images. Or Henri Cartier Bresson, another overrated peddler of the "photographer's image".

Get the Photographer's image mug.There was this image mod of Peridot from Steven Universe twerking, and everyone appears to be mistaking it for a real scene from the show. That’s what happens when you image mod stuff.

Get the Image mod mug.A board that focuses around the posting of images. Very similar to a textboard but it focuses around images rather than text.
The *chans such as 4chan, 7chan, 99chan, and 888chan are examples of imageboards, but there are many others as well.
