Name six songs that you are currently digging... it doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words or even if they're any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions and then list the six artists and the songs in your LiveJournal. Then tag six other people to see what they're listening to.
1. Middle of Nowhere, Hot Hot Heat
2. Hello Lonely (Walk Away From This), Theory of a Deadman
3. DOA, Foo Fighters
4. What A Wonderful World, Joey Ramone
5. Come Sail Away, Styx
6. A Day In the Life, Beatles
Who to tag that hasn't already done this?kaitsyxo, white_tulips, nitwitinperil, everblue3, oy_angelina, and lexisnexis.
And because this one looked fun, I yanked it fromchristycorr too.
Well. I think Holly and I would run a very efficient world. And, as per usual, Dede has some sexual orientation to me...
But KELLY! How dare you overthrow me!
*love*
p.s. Someone explain to me why these are called 'meme'.
Damn her and her meme's. *loves*

*thinks* Now that you've put it that way, and told me what you just might do being in charge of my military - Get a move on! Are you waiting for me to declare war or something? Keep them for us! I mean, you, of course, I have Adam. *glances at sleeping hubby* Right.
Hugggs.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The term and concept of the meme (pronounced [miːm] in IPA; from the Greek word μνήμη for 'memory') first appeared in the 1976 book by Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene. Though Dawkins defined the meme as "a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation," memeticists vary in their definitions of meme. The lack of a consistent, rigorous and precise definition of a meme remains one of the principal criticisms leveled at memetics, the study of memes.
Different definitions of the meme generally agree, very roughly, that a meme consists of some sort of a self-propagating unit of cultural evolution having a resemblance to the gene (the unit of genetics). Dawkins introduced the term after writing that evolution depended not on the particular chemical basis of genetics, but only on the existence of a self-replicating unit of transmission—in the case of biological evolution, the gene. For Dawkins, the meme exemplifies another self-replicating unit, and most importantly, one which he thought would prove useful in explaining human behavior and cultural evolution.
The smiley exemplifies what some might consider a visual meme. Anyone who has seen a smiley can copy, reproduce, or modify it and then show it to others.In casual use, the term meme often refers to any piece of information passed from one mind to another. This usage more closely resembles the analogy of "language as a virus" than Dawkins' analogy of memes as replicating units. This definition has come into popular use on the Internet to refer to phenomena such as Obey Giant, "All your base are belong to us", Blogebrity and Icy Hot Stuntaz.
*snort*
Encyclopedia Dramatica obviously gives a better definition.
