According to wikipedia, though not the most reliable source, An internet meme may take form of an image, hyperlink,video,picture,website or hashtag. It may include a word or phrase, including an intentional misspelling. These small movements tend to spread from person to person via social networks, blog, direct mail or news source. They may relate to various existing internet culture or subculture , often created or spread on sites such as 4chan, Reddit, and numerous others.
