Did you know that the term ‘meme’ comes from the Greek word ‘mimema’ which means ‘to imitate’. The term was later used by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his The Selfish Gene (1976) book. In his book, he coined the word ‘meme’ to describe a unit of cultural imitation and transmission. This unit can be in the form of catchphrases, jokes, fashion trends, religious concepts, or anything that can be transmitted. In other words, Dawkins adapted the word ‘meme’ to refer to a unit of cultural transmission or replication to explain human behavior.
Over the years, memes have evolved into a pop culture that mostly focuses on humor and social phenomena. With the advent of the internet, the transmission of memes has escalated ten-fold. Today, internet memes are consistently shared and modified by people themselves. And it seems like there’s no stopping this undying pop culture, not today and definitely not in the future. If there’s anything, memes are going far beyond the image itself. Nowadays, memes are considered as a means of communication and has become a part of our culture.
