      This is for internet memes, not cultural memes. Those are two different things and this doesn’t even fit the description of a cultural meme. This is a screenshot of political opinion.

        Nope, Internet memes are cultural memes

        and this doesn’t even fit the description of a cultural meme

        Also wrong

        This is a screenshot of political opinion

        Which is an idea that is spreading, and thus a meme

        Memes are like genes, that’s why the names are like that

          Cultural meme is, like you said: unit of cultural information that spreads by imitation.

          Internet memes are pictures that are either funny, ironic, or relateable.

          Those are two different things and this is neither. This is a screenshot of a political opinion.

            Yes, and that is also a:

            unit of cultural information that spreads by imitation.

            Sharing/Crossposting/rebloghing/etc.

            very simple concept you’re ailing to grasp spectacularly

            Also: if you think a screenshot of an opinion from a micro log site isn’t a meme GTFO microblogmemes ffs
