Well, it's actually a demotivational poster, but this one isn't so demotivational.  Hope it gives you a good chuckle, and I hope you agree with it! ![[Linked Image]](http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa178/orange_soda_king/Op110poster.jpg)

Looks like the reinterpretation of ib in Db + as the vi chord of E+. Great way to modulate! Thanks for sharing.

OSK: I have a question for you, as a member of the next generation. It seems that in internet culture there are two uses of "meme": originally a meme was any viral fast-spreading internet sensation. It could be an image, a video, a phrase, whatever. "All your base" was a meme. "Has anyone really been far even as decided..." was a meme (one you like). The double rainbow video was a meme.
But nowadays, "meme" is taking on a different meaning: the word increasingly refers to images with text, usually text at the top and bottom of the image, like the Morpheus "What if I told you" meme, and all the others. Is this what "meme" really means now on the internet? Does anyone still use it in the old way? Would anyone call the latest viral video a meme?

If an item of pop culture is being discussed by multiple people on an internet forum, doesn't it match the first definition, even if it is also described by the second? My understanding of meme is solely your first definition, but I'm now 30+, so what do I know

My understanding of meme is solely your first definition, but I'm now 30+, so what do I know Yes, there's a connection between the two uses of the term. Many of the image-memes (like the Morpheus one I specified) are also viral-memes. But I think the criteria for viral-meme requires more than just a handful of folks discussing it online; it really needs to be viral, and everywhere, at least for a while. I'll take your 30+ and raise you ten years... but I still think we know things. I'm not quite ready to shake my head and give up on what's new in the world; not yet. -J

Well put! I always assumed you were in my same age bracket, so it looks like you're succeeding.

I also remember it being used to describe a sort of chain-letter thing that bloggers did, the content usually being a series of questions to answer. And they had to forward it to a specified number of other people.

I'll add another 10 to that and while I don't, in general, give up on what's new in the world, I'm willing to make an exception in this case. I've a feeling this particular thing will be beyond my ken no matter how it is explained. It's like an inside joke that isn't funny.

-J Not OSK - sadly - but I am approx. his age, I believe... :P The second instance - which is indeed growing more prevalent - is one type of meme called an 'image macro'. I don't think memetic studies has yet to make it into college curricula, so I'm going to put my neck out and say that their popularity is due to their facility of mutation. Anything that goes viral has a limited lifespan before it becomes a meta-joke: when the meme requires someone's input for every single iteration - as with macros - that process is greatly speeded up. See some examples of insanity wolf below.  Actually insane wolf: http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/226662-insanity-wolfMeta-not-that-insane wolf: http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/224925-insanity-wolfTL;DR: Everything you list above is a meme, but image-macros are a particularly... friable, fertile kind of meme.

Okay, so basically, the point of that picture was that I LOVE THAT MODULATION SO MUCH.
It's in the first movement of Beethoven's Op. 110.
Does anyone agree that that modulation is seriously amazing???
Kind of like "those two measures" in Chopin's F minor Ballade (which are oh so amazing...)
Sorry if you didn't like the picture. I created it myself and thought of it myself.
