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.
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.
Actually when I first saw the term "meme" being used I thought it was the French word "Même" meaning even as in "Même les rois doivent mourir" – Even kings must die.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”

With all due respect to the grammy winners in the picture, how is it even possible for some of them to have that many when their careers have hardly spanned more then ten years?---that would give anyone a big head.

Time has slipped away from you
Jay-Z - 19 years since his debut Beyonce - 17 years since Destiny's Child debut/ 12 years since her solo debut Kanye - 15 years since his production debut /11 years since his artist debut
However, you're right that having that many Grammy's is pretty ridiculous. But, i think it's more the recording academy's fault than the artist since it basically devalues the merit of the award.

Now that is a motherfucking meme on a motherfucking funny meme thread.
