Conclusion
Memes arise from many different internet communities, from image boards to LiveJournal. Anything can lead to the appearance of a meme: a phrase, news in the media, a cultural object, a symbol, a character in a book or film, etc. Once it has come to life, the meme gradually spreads beyond its initial community if it is understandable by people outside the community, or it remains an in-joke within the community. So you could say that the internet meme is a new form of online folklore that anyone can contribute to. Each of the video editors described in an article can help you create a viral meme, so choose the most suitable for you and make your own memes without a hassle.
