[PAR] [TLE] Internet meme [SEP] An Internet meme ( ) is an activity, concept, catchphrase or piece of media which spreads, often as mimicry or for humorous purposes, from person to person via the Internet.  An Internet meme may also take the form of an image (typically an image macro), hyperlink, video, website, or hashtag.  It may be just a word or phrase, sometimes including an intentional misspelling.  These small movements tend to spread from person to person via social networks, blogs, direct email, or news sources.  They may relate to various existing Internet cultures or subcultures, often created or spread on various websites, or by Usenet boards and other such early-internet communications facilities.  Fads and sensations tend to grow rapidly on the Internet, because the instant communication facilitates word-of-mouth transmission.  Some examples include posting a photo of people lying down in public places (called "planking") and uploading a short video of people dancing to the Harlem Shake. [PAR] [TLE] Slender Man [SEP] The Slender Man (also known as Slenderman) is a fictional supernatural character that originated as a creepypasta Internet meme created by Something Awful forums user Eric Knudsen (also known as "Victor Surge") in 2009.
