A meme is a piece of media, such as an image, video, hashtag, or hyperlink, that spreads through the Internet and goes viral. The most common type of meme is an image with humorous text (like the one below).
Memes have become especially popular over the past decade due to the rise in social media and mobile device use. As people are on their devices more, they consume a lot of content and share things they like quicker.
You can create your own memes from scratch or create variations of memes posted by other Internet users.
