A meme is shared on the Internet usually with an image accompanied by (usually simple) text employed to convey a deeper message. Memes often employ cartoons, familiar images reworked anew, humour, pop culture references, and/or satire.
Etymology
The word was coined by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his 1976 work The Selfish Gene. He used it to refer to a unit of cultural information spread by imitation, drawing from the Greek word "mimema", meaning "imitated".
Memetic warfare
Memetic warfare is a modern form of information and psychological warfare that involves the propagation of Internet memes on social media. Memetic warfare has been seriously studied as an important concept with respect to information warfare by NATO's Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence. Jeff Giesea, writing in NATO's Stratcom COE Defense Strategic Communications journal, defines memetic warfare as "competition over narrative, ideas, and social control in a social-media battlefield. One might think of it as a subset of 'information operations' tailored to social media[1]
