Memes are basically images that are used to convey certain expressions, opinions, thoughts, jokes, and so on. Memes are growing in popularity, as they are a more attractive and descriptive way of expressing things than written text. There has been an immense increase in the use of memes over the years in social media, so much so that you almost see new memes every day. Facebook also allows you to use memes in your status updates, comments, and in your personal inbox in a very simple way.
