What is an internet meme?
An internet meme is an image, phrase or practice repeatedly reused and altered online.
Origins, forms and everyday life
Humor and meaning depend on shared context. A template can express different ideas across groups. Spread is more than copying: captions, timing and formats produce new variants, sometimes briefly.
Meaning, change and safeguarding
Verify origin claims carefully and consider privacy and image rights. A humorous format does not excuse discriminatory or false claims within it.
