Default The idea that memes are memes is a meme within itself
Quote:
meme Noun
An element of a culture or behavior that may be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, esp. imitation.
The idea that image macros are memes is in fact a meme that has spread through out the internet, therefore, memes themselves are a meme.

The word "meme," was devised by Professor Richard Dawkins.

But Memes are the best internet craze, in history though. I love them so much.
