Internet Memes
An internet phenomenon or a meme is an image, video, phrase or simply an idea that spreads from one person to another seemingly for no logical reason at all.
When people see a meme, no matter how silly it usually is, they find it amusing for one reason or other and forward it to their friends; soon millions of people know about it, thanks to how fast the information can spread online and the viral effect.

Some examples are RickRolled, which has been around for year. It has even been made into a joke on the “Question 17 of the Cencus”.
http://improveverywhere.com/ Frozen is a beautiful example of something that the Improve Everywhere group has done and it has been copied in other areas.
The videos below show other Internet memes and you will probably be familiar with most of them. If you aren’t then either they aren’t proper memes or – you’re not spending enough time on the Internet!
