“There are two types of people in the world. Those who know what a meme is, and those who don’t.
For those who know what I’m talking about, you probably hear the word “meme,” and your mind turns to the numerous funny images or videos that are captured and typically spread through social media; the smug-looking baby in a green and white sweater who clenches a fist full of sand. Michael Jordan crying. Again. Dancing babies. Grumpy cats. Kermit the frog sipping on a cup of tea.”
