The majority of Internet memes are transmitted by teens and post-adolescents. This occurs because these two demographics like to message, and have a certain curiousity about memes. But today, the average age of meme-transmitters has expanded, as users in their thirties and forties discover the humor about forwarding memes to their friends.


Today velocity is the key to everything, memes travel much faster than simple speech. As Internet email forwards, instant messages, and Web page links, memes now travel instantly via the Internet. The effect that they cause on fashion trends is huge. Many designers are known for their own work and worked years for brands until they made it. Today thanks to memes an independent designer can fin success from posting in their own blog or by appearing on youtube.

Some examples of internet fashion memes are
