What exactly is a meme? In this episode of Lexiconned, we dive into the fascinating origin story of the word that dominates our internet culture. From its surprising beginnings as a concept in evolutionary biology, coined by Richard Dawkins in the 1970s, to its rapid evolution into a language of its own online, we uncover how "meme" transformed from cultural genes to viral sensations. Along the way, we explore what makes a meme truly meme-worthy, revisit some classic internet moments (Dancing Baby, anyone?), and examine how memes have shaped everything from political movements to brand marketing. Join TJ for a witty, insightful journey through linguistic history and digital culture that will have you looking at your favorite memes in a whole new light.
