    An internet meme isn’t a meme until it is shared around. It becomes something that exists without a single person who can take credit as turning it into a meme. The original creator, even if known, isn’t the person who turned their creation into a meme.

    The need to grasp for credit of an internet cultural phenomenon is foreign to me.
