Meme

"The term "Internet meme" refers to a catchphrase or concept that spreads rapidly from person to person via the internet, largely through email, blogs, forums, social networking sites and instant messaging. The term derives from the original concept of memes, although it has come to refer to a much more narrowly defined category of cultural information. An internet meme is initially amusing, but overused to the point of exhaustion. Examples include Rickrolling, lolcats, "Leave Britney Alone", Nyang Cat and "All your base are belong to us"


Grumpy Cat is a nickname given to an angry-looking cat that rose to fame online after its pictures were posted to Reddit in late September 2012.


Grumpy Cat is owned by Arizona resident Tabatha Bundesen. The original photos of Grumpy Cat were posted to the /r/pics subreddit by Bundesen’s brother Bryan on September 23rd, 2012.

The Reddit post was instantly met with photoshopped parodies and image memes from others, reaching the front page with more than 25,300 up votes in the first 24 hours. The same day, three video clips of the cat playing indoors were uploaded to YouTube by Bundesen the same day.
