Whatever the content, it’s likely already gone viral. And while they often seem like just funny images, these creations have profoundly changed how we communicate and think.
“They spread and influence humans,”saysUtah State University computer science professor Nick Flann in a 2021 Science Unwrapped talk. “It’s not just fun, it can actually change your behavior and some of the outcomes of society, perhaps. Memes thrive in the world because we have the internet and because we have advanced artificial intelligence.”
The term “viral” is a direct reference to how real-world diseases spread, and it’s a fitting analogy to describe how fast things move online. They catch on in no time, and while this means we have an endless supply of jokes to enjoy, it also makes room for content designed to mislead rather than entertain. “It has tremendous power to influence the future,” Flann says.
Trump later acknowledged that the images weren’t real, and while many considered the post to be a joke from the very beginning, it’s likely that some took it seriously.
Despite the potential for misuse, memes have plenty of supporters, likeDr. Jeremy Sng, a lecturer at Nanyang Technological University’s School of Social Sciences. His research focuses on how media affects people psychologically and behaviorally, and he believes some of the criticism aimed at meme culture—like claims that it promotes misinformation or disrespects authority—isn’t entirely fair.
“Making jokes at the expense of others, including those in power, is something people have done in private conversations and coffee-shop talk long before memes came about. So, it is a bit unfair to blame this solely on memes,” Dr. Sngsays. “Memes are also not the only type of content contributing to misinformation.”
Moreover, according to online media monitoring company Meltwater, positive memes on social media generally outnumber negative ones, but it’s the latter that tend to gain more traction.Mimrah Mahmood, a senior director and partner at Meltwater,explainsthat controversial memes touch on sensitive topics, which naturally attract more attention. “Positive or inspirational memes don’t generate the same level of interest,” he says.

It’s no surprise that memes evoking strong emotions like outrage tend to spread the fastest—research shows thatanger is the most viral emotiononline. This often means that wholesome and lighthearted memes don’t become as popular, but their positive impact should not be overlooked. These memes can help people connect over shared struggles likedepression or anxietyand bring individuals together through niche interests. They also express feelings that are oftendifficult to articulate.
