What is a "Meme"?

Post by Admin »

A "meme" is an idea or behavior that moves through a culture. Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins coined the term in 1976 to describe how information or style proliferates, for example, but in recent years it has more often referred to "viral" Internet content.
