A meme is an idea, trend, or cultural information that is shared through the Internet, most often for humorous purposes and sometimes to criticize another person, group, nation, or other entity. Different kinds of Internet Memes exist. There is the term ‘meme’ used to define an idea or concept, an image or photo, or a song. The word “meme” was actually coined from the German word “mensch” which means “being or doing” – hence the term. In addition, different kinds of Internet Memes may be defined as specific kinds of content, such as images of animals, cultural information, corporate information, or even political information.
Now, it is not entirely strange to see Internet celebrities, politicians, athletes and other public personalities using certain kinds of Internet Memes in order to garner support or humor from their fans or followers. Such individuals may be ridiculed for using such cultural references, but the fact that the content is humorous serves to make the joke more palatable. So long as the content is seen as relevant, then there isn’t much criticism. One can say that all Internet politics has grown into a popularity contest – where the winner becomes the target of all sorts of cultural jokes.
What is different about internet Memes, however, is that they have become a part of many conversations that take place online. Basically, an Internet meme is a piece of internet-based content that becomes popular quickly and becomes the butt of many comical jokes. There are many different types of these internet Memes. However, most of them center on certain topics that have been constantly discussed as of late. Take for example, the so-called “Poop Cake,” “Red Noise,” “S Expand” and “Guess How Thick My Pee is?”
As mentioned above, different types of these internet Memes are created through various kinds of social media sites. However, it is important to point out that the rise of “meme culture” online has been facilitated by the internet’s ability to provide quick and easy communication between different people. It has also opened up the possibility of one type of media sharing the popularity of another. For instance, one type of celebrity-endorsed Internet Meme is often shared among different users of a particular social network site. When this happens, users can easily identify which type of media is the favorite of another user. This is done through a process of “cue-ing.”
In other words, when you go on a social networking site, you can choose to automatically create a bunch of different “cues” to share a particular joke. But unlike in conventional forms of advertising where you have to actually say something in order for your brand or product to be remembered, using certain kinds of Memes in social media posts allows you to just say the word “meme.” However, when you do this, you have to make sure that you use the correct word. Say, for instance, you want to use the term “meme” to reference an image posted on a social media site. This could either be an image or a written word. It all depends on the situation.
The great thing about internet Memes is that it has become something of a new language all on its own. A great number of users are able to communicate with each other through internet Memes and through visual cues from across the globe. With this, a lot of cultural information has been spread through the use of internet forums, which is also known as “web logs.” The spread of cultural information through internet forums is especially true in regards to internet memes.
Basically, internet users are able to pass cultural messages back and forth through images and written content. But in this process, the cultural information has to be passed along in a very direct manner. For this reason, internet marketers have to make sure that their marketing materials that they use include internet Memes as well as other kinds of visual cues. This will help to create an environment that will make it easier for consumers to understand the kind of cultural message that the marketing material is conveying.
