"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. >_>
