What the heck is a Meme?

It is a hip test that you just failed.

Actually, a meme is a concept or an idea which propogates throughout society not unlike a virus or genetic mutation. Often a humorous twist on standard definitions, with its popularity now growing exponentially at the speed of electrons through the internet, memes are often misunderstood as ONLY comedic.

I think the rate of identification/implementation is radically faster than when this concept was introduced, since the standard definition says the geometric multiplication is through echoing and mimicing through generational 'training'...when the modern application is greatly accelerated through reading Facebook and Twitter and such. It may have been not unlike genetic change in the past, but is much more viral-acting now.
