A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Exactly this.
If you're wondering why they're useful, an example from my discipline is removing heat from a chemical reaction. You mix some ingredients together, stir for 2 hours, and you get a product. By combining the derivatives for the rate of reaction (how fast does A+B -> C) and the heat of reaction (how much energy does the reaction release), you can calculate how much cooling you need to prevent a runaway reaction that takes out half the neighborhood.
