Spawned from the message boards and discussion threads of 4Chan and Reddit, a new breed of internet memes has taken the internet by stealth, first as novel creative vehicles for political banter, and then to trending juggernauts. A new crowd-sourced ‘meme’ subculture is pitting the power of political satire against the culture wars for a virtual battle royale.

Following on the heals of controversial Pepe the Frog meme, a new gamer-inspired meme, the #NPC meme, aka ‘NPC Wojak‘, which took Twitter by storm in a matter of days.
