What is a meme? What does it mean for something to go viral? It's almost impossible to predict what will start trending online, it's too random. Even something like a picture of a pencil could become a meme, if enough people shared it around. Even then, the fame is fleeting. It's all over the internet in an instant, but then becomes outdated just as quickly. It's a meaningless cycle of distraction and irony, repeating for eternity with no end goal.
