![]() There is something about captioning a picture in a way that appeals to a particular group that makes memes unique. Memes, interestingly enough, are more accurate representations of daily life than pictures or words could ever be on their own. Urban Dictionary’s top definition for a “meme” states that a meme is “not a word, it’s a lifestyle.” They are a form of expression made possible by technology and driven forward by the fast-paced nature of social media. Today, Facebook is more or less an amalgamation of professionally taken photos, news stories, viral videos and memes.
