    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
