A '''meme''' is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture—often with the aim of conveying a particular phenomenon, theme, or meaning represented by the meme. A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures. | A '''meme''' is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture—often with the aim of conveying a particular phenomenon, theme, or meaning represented by the meme.

While some memes can be enlightening and humorous, the fact is that memes promote a vapid short-cut kind of thinking (typical of normies) that is slowly degrading human culture. Unfortunately, memes are becoming increasingly prevalent and spread quicker than ever before [ | Sometime during the late 2000s, meme became synonymous with digital image macros transferred across the Internet and lost it's original meaning in colloquial culture.
