I find memes as a mixture of art and technology. There is an art to create a memorable meme. It pertains to photo, video, and audio editing. It uses the internet as a medium. Memes are and if not, should, fall into the genre of net art.
What I thought was an American culture is actually something that crosses the oceans and country boundaries. Most of these foreign memes are as creative, memorable, and funny as American memes. Here's a link to Mental Floss's collection of current internet memes. I really find the Pantyhose Canines funny.
Lately some of these overseas memes has crossed over to us. The Harlem Shake, where people start out mellow for the first 15 seconds, go nuts in the last 15 seconds, started in Norway and this cute one that started in Korea, called Kiyomi Gwiyomi, stars lots of cute asian girls doing a hand choreographed dance.
