What are the Most commonly Used Memes? |
Posted: May 15, 2014 |
There are many memes that are used often. You will usually see them pop up on humor related websites. In case you not know what you meme is, it is a term that is used to describe something that is shared and seen by a large amount of people. We call this the viral effect. It spreads out in the same way that a virus does. It starts with one person, the creator. It is then shared with their friends who then shared with their friends and so on. It is difficult to create something that can go viral; however, when it does, it is a thing of beauty. For something to go viral, it must amuse and entertained people enough to make them want to share it with their friends. This means that only the best content will go viral. Anything less would not be shared and therefore, will not be able to go viral. Below, we have talked about two of the more popular memes that spread virally. Have you ever heard of the song “What Does the Fox Say?” I'm sure you have. The reason you have is likely because it went viral recently. The song is about nothing really. It mostly consists of animal sounds that are made by a vocalist. Ylvis wrote the song to be funny and it certainly became that. This song has generated a lot of buzz and even inspired a dance that was made for it. The dance is really easy to do and most importantly, it is fun. That is why so many people loved this song. It is an easy way to laugh and people really enjoy that. It is not often that a song goes viral like this one has. There will always be another one but no one knows what or when. That is the beauty of viral memes. They come up completely by surprise and are totally unpredictable. When they happen, it is a great thing to see. The next meme that we will talk about is called overly attached girlfriend. This meme was created through a video, much like the one that we talked about earlier. In this video, a 20-year-old girl sang her own lyrics over a Justin Bieber song that was popular at the time. The lyrics were about her and her infatuation with her significant other. It was not a serious video and it was obvious that she was joking from the start. She did a great job with the lyrics and selling her tone throughout the video. The video showed up on popular viral sites almost instantly and people shared it everywhere. There is also an Internet meme that has been created with her face from the video. Laina, the person behind the videos, has used her success to raise money for charities. This is an example of how an Internet meme that goes viral can have a positive impact on the world.
