Not a meme

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

By its original definition, anything other than genetic information shared between people is a meme. The post is a meme. This comment is a meme. Whatever music you may be listening to in the background rn is a meme.

Dawkins' definition of cultural meme is not the same as internet meme which is a picture that is funny, ironic or relateable. In fact, I don't think this even fits the definition of cultural meme - it's just a screenshot of random person's opinion. If everything is a meme then nothing is a meme.

He writes "not a meme" on memes that criticise republicans. Less so other ones.
