Meme is thus described in memetics as a sign without its triadic nature.
Typical variations on the snowman concept include using raw materials other than snow, or using similar materials but a new meme.
The meme spread from user to user, people sent the link of the video through circulars and messaging services, then it appeared on blogs too.
When it comes to understanding human culture, most of the dynamics are best understood in terms of cultural evolution, with the proviso that developmental processes filter meme creation and selection.
Memes and memeplexes do not have to be true to replicate, although the feeling of something being true or truthiness is beneficial to a meme's replication.
Since the same meme results in all three cases, it seems useful to put them all in the category of cultural processes (with social and ontogenetic components of varying degrees).
If we decide to fully exploit the applications of the term meme, it would reveal its truly powerful role in our understanding of human culture in general.
Meme's first self-titled disc was released in the summer of 2010.
