(you mean "she").... a meme is more than just a picture with words ....it has to be a "thing" that catches on and is used alot. if you Google image " I asked god for a bike " and then also Google image "Dork detector finods another one" you will see the difference

ok first off sorry for calling you a "he". I kinda get what you are saying about the difference now but if the dork detector isn't a meme then why did you post it in the first place?

According to Wikipedia, a "meme" is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture".
If that's true, I don't think we've seen any true "memes" here so far. And if that definition is true, here are some things I think might be examples of memes:
G.I. generation meme: suburban home with lawn intended to give the impression of owning a tiny ranch.
Baby Boomer meme: Promote peace and love in your youth, pursue prosperity in you aging years.
Hardcore punk meme: fuck memes.
Generation X meme: sarcasm
Millennial meme: The center of the universe is located in your hand held device.
"Don't give in to the lies. Don't give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth. And to hope."

Mr. Lux Surely you jest in not knowing what a meme is. It is the current folks on scene who don't realize the founding father of such a term. The selfish gene is a great read. It's one book amongst the many on my shelf. And if anyone cares to delve further into this the link is provided after the meme.
