Firstly, meme is not capitalised, and you shouldn't use apostrophes like that.
Was just about to say that.

You shouldn't use apostrophes like that, you could hurt someone.

Hi Everyone,
Just wondering how many Meme's we can think of because i've only recently been introduced to this concept.
So tell me what are the Meme's of the world?
GHhgghnn this gets me angry.
"Meme" is a term coined by Richard Dawkins to describe ideas that behave like viruses. It doesn't mean "internet jokes". Essentially, memetics is a theory of socio-cultural evolution where "memes" (ideologies, religions, fads, tastes, etc.) are the equivalent of "genes", but instead of nucleic acids, they use human interactions to transmit information. Essentially, we don't think - we just transmit thought viruses the same way a cough transmits a flu virus. It's a controversial theory, but it explains certain subconscious human tendencies.

An internet meme merely uses the internet to copy itself from mind to mind MUCH more rapidly. The process is completely irrational and unconscious, yet the idea spreads "virally" because it's designed like that, to be repeated over and over outside of context.

So, now that we know that, we can start using the proper terminology. >_>

memes are essential to any culture.
Or integral, rather.
It does not just encompass dumbass crap that pop up on the internet, but also many, many things in 'real life'.

T___T I guess it looks preachy like this. Sorry.

But memetics is rather handy! Ever wonder why "Charlie bit my finger!" got a bajillion views? Who started it, how it spread, where it became a hit? Studying such transmission vectors has quite a lot in common with epidemiology. Then again, what is a virus if not a natural USB stick? A piece of information (in a protein shell)?

If we're posting memes, I'd like to go ahead and post a video of the man who began the "sup dogg" craze.
