@trackboy Honestly, they were called memes 15 years ago but people call everything memes now.

The term comes from Richard Dawkins who came up with the idea in a book in the early 90s. He described them as a 'thought virus'. Basically a smart guy made it up and other people started using it eventually.

"A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture—often with the aim of conveying a particular phenomenon, theme, or meaning represented by the meme."
