Fenomen pe internet (sau Internet meme în engleză)[1] este un concept răspândit pe internet.[2] Termenul face referire și la conceptul de meme, dar se referă la o categorie mai vastă decât cea a informației culturale.
We need a name for the new replicator, a noun that conveys the idea of a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation. 'Mimeme' comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like 'gene'. I hope my classicist friends will forgive me if I abbreviate mimeme to meme. If it is any consolation, it could alternatively be thought of as being related to 'memory', or to the French word même. It should be pronounced to rhyme with 'cream'.
