Definition of «meme»

"Meme coin" is a cryptocurrency created and promoted around an internet meme, joke, mascot, or online community rather than a conventional technological or financial purpose. The phrase belongs to online finance and crypto culture, where it is often used with a knowingly humorous or skeptical attitude. Meme coins can attract attention through viral posts and community excitement, making the term closely tied to speculative trading and rapid social-media trends. Even when used neutrally, the label usually highlights the coin’s playful origin and the unusually social nature of its popularity.

"Meme game" refers to a video game that is primarily designed around, or becomes famous for, its absurd, humorous, or viral concepts rather than its deep mechanics or narrative. These games often rely on "shock and awe" marketing or bizarre premises (like "Pokémon with guns") to gain traction on social media and streaming platforms. While the term can be dismissive, implying the game is a shallow joke, it can also be used to describe a game that successfully leans into its own ridiculousness for entertainment value. A meme game often generates a high volume of internet content, such as reaction videos and image macros, due to its inherently "shareable" nature.
