With the rise of instant messaging chat apps, websites and social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Messenger, Twitter, and Facebook, memes have become more diverse and can spread quickly. More recent genres of meme include short-form videos such as those uploaded on Vine and TikTok. 

Memes have a number of traits, such as intertextuality (i.e the idea that a given text is a response to what has already been written, be it explicit or implicit), the ability to be parodied, the ability to change through time, and the viral nature of their spread.
