Internet Culture

Internet culture refers to the social and cultural practices, behaviors, and trends that develop within the online environment, particularly on social media, forums, websites, and other digital platforms. This culture is characterized by the ways individuals and communities interact, share content, create memes, and communicate with one another. It encompasses various forms of expression including language, humor, art, and activism that arise in online spaces.

Key elements of internet culture include viral phenomena, the use of specific jargon or slang, the rise of influencers and content creators, and the formation of online subcultures or communities based on shared interests. Internet culture can also involve the impact of algorithms and platforms on content visibility and engagement, shaping what becomes popular or ‘trending.’

Overall, internet culture reflects the influence of technology on social interactions and cultural production, often blurring the lines between the digital and physical worlds.
