Just for us Image, how does a 'Random Pic' differ from a 'meme' (using your definition)? Meme is a Random Pic with words?

^This. "Meme" used to mean "an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture." Now, it has been hijacked to describe a random picture with words on it. :facepalm2:


Umm meme images meet that definition perfectly. "594 would have prevented that" is a meme. Putting those same words on a picture of a disaster area is a meme. Michael Jackson eating popcorn is a meme... if you don't identify with a meme image, then it's probably not meant for your particular type of audience.

Just because you were able to cite a couple of examples of random pictures with words on them that do fit the traditional meme definition does not mean that all random pictures with words on them are memes.

Post em up. What are some good memes you've seen? Maybe this can be a resouce for folks to find some good ones to use later. . . .

Good question. I'll leave that up to someone more inteweb hip than I am.

IMO, usually a picture with some level of mockery or irony that can be used as a response by itself to a thread, without additional words. . . .

So it doesn't have to be 'famous' or in widespread use already, then.

In that case, I believe this meets your criteria (fresh baked for this thread):

*le gasp* Srsly? Such observation. Many words. Much misconception. Wow.

A random image with words isn't a meme. But an image with words can be a meme image. Does that help? I'm mobile, otherwise I'd reply with nothing but memes.

I think you're freshbaked idea works, but IMO i'd just post the picture without the words on a political (or religious) discussion.

Another one that can be used quite often here (despite it's wording geared towards Facebook)
