  Title: Internet meme

An Internet meme may also take the form of an image (typically an image macro), hyperlink, video, website, or hashtag.  It may be just a word or phrase, sometimes including an intentional misspelling.  These small movements tend to spread from person to person via social networks, blogs, direct email, or news sources.
