YEP; THIS IS A MEME; YEP; IT CAN BE FUNNY OR NOT TO BE POPULAR OR NOT! INTERNET MEMES COME FROM THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT OF MEMES AS AN ELEMENT OF CULTURE PASSED ON FROM PERSON TO PERSON. ON THE INTERNET, THIS SPREAD OCCURS THROUGH ONLINE MEDIUMS SUCH AS SOCIAL MEDIA. THOUGH THE TERMS ARE RELATED, INTERNET MEMES DIFFER IN THAT THEY ARE OFTEN SHORT-LASTING FADS, WHILE TRADITIONAL MEMES HAVE THEIR SUCCESS DETERMINED BY LONGEVITY.
THERE IS NO SINGLE FORMAT THAT MEMES MUST FOLLOW, AND THEY CAN HAVE VARIOUS PURPOSES. FOR EXAMPLE, THEY OFTEN SERVE AS SIMPLY LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT, BUT CAN ALSO BE POWERFUL TOOLS FOR SELF-EXPRESSION, CONNECTION, SOCIAL INFLUENCE, AND POLITICAL SUBVERSION. MAKES SENSE TO ME! IT’S NOT MY MEME; SO POST IT!
