MEME

Meme examples

A meme is a concept spread by the internet, it is also an item of pop culture propagated via word of mouth.
It comes from the Greek "mimëma" = something imitated.
It is used in the latest cool websites.

A 'meme' doesn't have to be funny, provocative or even make sense. Most memes fall into on of three categories (according to urban dictionary):

• Quirky stuff that isn't funny
• Pathetic stuff that fills you with vicarious despair
• revolting pictures that could be presented to some alien jury as evidence that humanity is cancer

All that is required for a meme to succeed is for a critical mass of basement dwellers to get in on it.
It started being something funny, but the trolling elite make it lost its essence.

4chan is a web forum in which you can find lots of memes. For example cute animals saying something incongruous, or other epic fails which are lost in the web and some guys with no social life find and link them into a board.


Eventually I have to admit that there are some super cute memes:
