Who does meme mean?

"Meme" doesn't refer to anyone. Refers to the idea or style that is copied and imitated in various ways after being spread on the Internet.

Meme, commonly known as "stem", refers to a "cultural gene", which depends on the host and replicates and spreads like a gene. In this year's thesis, we have constructed a dynamic model of meme spreading on the Internet.

Since it first appeared in Selfish Genes, the concept of meme has gradually become a widely spread meme. Compared with biological genes, memes refer to components with fixed functions in cultural communication. As Hou Shida said, eye-catching can spread like sparks jumping in the brain.

For example, gothic style in art, zombie films in film classification. On social networks, memes can be an idea, the pursuit of a TV series, or an emoji or buzzword that suddenly becomes popular.

About the origin

The word meme comes from the book Selfish Genes by the famous British scientist Richard Dawkins.

Its meaning refers to "something similar to the role played by genes in the process of biological evolution in the process of language, thought, belief and behavior."
