Memeism

Memeism is the study of a set of rapidly spreading and practically world-wide social changes caused by exposure to content known as "Memes". Lead researcher in the field of Memeism Constant Throwing explains:

"The ability to understand this content relies largely on a what I call a 'reference community/ community of reference'. This is a set of people who- despite geographical, economic, and cultural separation- are able to relate to one another based on references that- if unpopular in a given part of world/ culture at the current time- lead the curious observer (who has been triggered emotionally, be that negatively or positively, by exposure) to a greater understanding to that particular reference: and therefore will promote a shared understanding. This ability to help people relate across boundaries previously insurmountable by traditional media is what gives Memes the massive cultural impact that we see today."

How can you claim that Memeism is a real thing and that it actually affects society?

The effect of Memeism on society can be measured by the prevailence of memes in popular culture and how this transcends the pop culture, religion, politics, economics, and geographical location of individual nations.
