Meme

The term meme (pronounced like “cream”) is used to describe a concept that spreads virally. A Meme may take the form of a hyperlink, video, picture, website, hashtag, or even just a word or phrase. This meme may spread from person to person via social networks, blogs, direct email, news sources, and other web-based services usually becoming viral.

An Internet meme may stay the same or may evolve over time, by chance or through commentary, imitations, parody, or even by collecting news accounts about itself. Internet memes can evolve and spread extremely rapidly, sometimes reaching world-wide popularity and vanishing all in a few days. They are spread organically, voluntarily, and peer-to-peer, rather than by predetermined or automated means.

The term “meme” was coined by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 popular science bestseller, The Selfish Gene.
