The idea of an internet meme was first brought to the public in 1993 in a issue of "Wired". The first memes featured pets like cats and hamsters. Meme like the "Nyan Cat" and "Hamster On a Piano" were very viral around the internet. Some memes turned into trends that everyone could participate in. Trends like the "Harlem shake", "deez nuts", "planking", and "21" all took the internet by storm and became viral. Now there are meme accounts on social media websites like Instagram. The big meme accounts can rack up millions of followers.
