      Meme

      ii) While social media is a platform for communication, memes are a way of expressing a culturally-relevant idea. A meme is an image or video that represents the thoughts and feelings of a specific audience/group or the opinion of the creator. Most  memes are captioned photos intended to elicit humour. However, there are many viral video memes too.
