meme, unit of cultural information spread by imitation.
The term meme (from the Greek mimema, meaning “imitated”) was introduced in 1976 by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his work The Selfish Gene.
Once a meme has been created, it is shared via social networks.
Most memes are first circulated on Reddit, /pol/ or 4chan.
From there, they find their way to other networks like Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook and WhatsApp.
4chan was created by teenage Internet entrepreneur Christopher Poole (under the username “moot”) in 2003.
Poole had been a poster on Something Awful, one of the Internet's most active and influential discussion forums.
Something Awful was, however, heavily moderated, and its community discouraged memes.
