Mini-meme
- Date Found: Unknown
- Used By:
A mini-meme, also referred to as a "sub-meme" or "meta-meme", is a meme from/within another meme, or the media from which said meme originated.
In other words, it's basically a somewhat-popular-but-not-as-well-known meme that originates from another popular meme, much like the offspring of celebrities who bite off their famous parent's success.
There are also other definitions of what a mini-meme is. A mini-meme can refer to a meme that is too small or not as well-known that it doesn't deserve to be recognized as an ordinary meme; being labeled as a sub-class meme. An example would be phrases/quotes (i.e. "What is this I don't even"). Another way of defining a mini-meme would be a meme that has spawned from smaller communities on the internet, such as chans catered to a specific fandom, and is exclusively used in that particular community (i.e. "Delicious Doll Joints", which is a mini-meme used in Desuchan).
Many mini-memes have their roots from YouTube Poop and YTMND.
Examples
- Advice Aeralik, which is an Advice Dog variation of Aeralik, a mini-meme exclusive to EQ2Flames
- For great justice or "MOVE ZIG", originates from All Your Base Are Belong To Us
- Furseiseki, a 7chan meme, which is a yiffed-out version of Suiseiseki
- General channer misspellings of words like moar, evar, teh, etc.
- Many memes that started off from YTMND pages
- Other exploitable content from the media of YouTube Poop Memes (i.e. "Or was it the bagel?", a mini-meme spawned from the Mama Luigi meme.)
