"A meme can be considered a mimicked theme, including simple phrases or gestures. An Internet meme may take the form of an image, hyperlink, video, picture, website, or hashtag. It may be just a word or phrase, including an intentional misspelling. These small movements tend to spread from person to person via social networks, blogs, direct email, or news sources."

An example of this was the video "“Gangnam Style” last year which had a huge number of people watch it and also a huge number of people imitate it their own way too.

And then you get the parodies which are memes of the memes and can become memes themselves.
