memeticism

Memeticism or memeticics is the idea of taking a concept that isn't accepted by the general public and attempting to force it into existence by shilling the idea in any number of ways from conversation to forced memes.

Sean: Dude memeticism is how we can shill the idea. We can literally get people to believe this thing I made up!
The Nobody: Dude that's really stupid and cringe.
Sean: Come on, let's meme it into reality!
The Nobody: I don't know you. Get off my property or i'm calling the cops.

memelitism

Disliking a meme because of other people liking it. This may be due to the quantity of others passing the idea along, or because the undesirable nature of the communities receiving it. A combination of "meme" and "elitist."

Sikander's memelitism kept him from reading danah boyd's blog once it was referenced in 'Newsweek.'

memetics

The study of form and function as contrapositive with respect to each other. An attempt to schematize design from form.

The study of skeumorphs (memes).

Memetics proffers the tenet that function and form are contra-functional.

Memetics isolates design from form by arguing that there is no duality that is not design.

This is the obverse of the postmodern mantra that "form follows function" and the genesis of Hypermodernism.
