    Yes, it’s literally in the definition. Even ideas are memes.

    A meme is to culture what a gene is to biology.

        What are you talking about, my dude?

        The definition of the term “meme” was given by Richard Dawkins in 1972. That’s what the word means.

        What’s your point?

          Definitions change. Dawkins didn’t define an “internet meme”. People who were spreading certain kinds of viral content on the Internet found Dawkins’ word and adapted it to match the things they were doing.
