A lot of people associate the word "meme" with humor, but it actually refers to anything that is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture". (The word was created by Richard Dawkins :P btw) So some Creepypasta characters are memes and some are not popular enough to achieve meme status. Here are some interesting things to read up on about memes and Slender Man himself:
