Are teens of today mindless drones or creative individuals?

For my Capstone project, I decided to research memes, trends, and what teens think about them. I chose these topics, which fall under the more broad category of internet culture, because they are so relevent and prevalent in my everyday life. 

So, what is a meme?

A meme is an element of a culture that is passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.

I use memes and follow trends in my everyday life because I think they help me express myself, all while becoming an active member in my society's culture. They're funny and often ridiculous, but they can really bring people together. 

This capstone project will consist of three moves, all of which focus on some aspect of the internet and internet culture.
