What is a network meme?

When surfing the Internet, my friend sent me a link. I opened it and it was a super funny video, so you sent it to more people. So the phenomenon of network explosion came into being. There is also a technical term for this phenomenon: internet meme network meme.

Network meme is an idea or information that spreads rapidly among a large number of network users. This is a bit like an internal joke on the Internet, a popular and eye-catching concept that many Internet users know. Memes usually take the form of hyperlinks and spread through e-mail, blogs, social networks, instant messages and so on.

Network meme (also known as network explosion) refers to a phenomenon that ideas or information spread rapidly among Internet users. This kind of information is a bit like a joke in the circle, that is, the most cutting-edge and interesting information that only a large number of Internet users know. Internet memes are usually spread in the form of hyperlinks through emails, blogs, social networking sites and instant messages.

A meme may be a joke or a quote, a rumor or a simple fact, an image, a video, or even a specific website? Almost any anecdote that can be passed from one person to another by electronic communication. A key aspect of meme is that it is voluntary, a communication that spreads from one place to another, without any coercion or automation.

The content of network meme can be a joke, a famous saying, a rumor or a fact, an image, a video or even a website. Basically, anything that can be transmitted from one person to another through electronic communication technology can be a meme. An important feature of network memes is that all propagation processes are spontaneous, and there is no mandatory or automatic propagation attribute.

Memes may remain the same when they are transferred from one source to another, but sometimes they "evolve" and are modified or expanded by each new recipient. They will also disappear as quickly as spread, increase in popularity, and then disappear within a few days.

In the process of communication, the content of meme may remain unchanged, or it may be modified or expanded by later recipients. They may disappear on the internet as soon as they explode, and they may disappear in a few days.

Meme was first used by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his popular science bestseller Selfish Genes (65438-0976). This word can refer to both the content spread among users and the ideas hidden behind the content or the phenomenon of its spread.
