Short-form video[edit]
[edit]See also: Vine (service)
After the success of the application Vine, a format of memes emerged in the form of short videos and scripted sketches. Vine, in spite of its closure in early 2017, has still retained relevance through uploads of viral vines in compilations onto other sharing social media sites such as Twitter and YouTube. Since Vine's shutdown, the service TikTok has been described as a better version of Vine and many comparisons have been made between the two platforms; also based on the upload of short-form videos, TikTok, however, allows videos and memes up to a minute in length rather than six seconds.

With the usage of Vine and TikTok, the short-form videos are used on other social media sites, such as Twitter, as a form of reacting and responding to posts. These videos become replicated into other contexts and often times become part of Internet culture.
New Text to be included in the "Evolution" section**
[edit]The earlier forms of image based memes include the demotivator, image macro, photoshopped image, LOLCats, advice animal, and comic.[1] The Demotivator image includes a black background with white, capitalized, text. The objective of using this format was to parodize inspirational and motivational posters, where the name "demotivator" is derived from. [1] Image macro consists of an image with white Impact font in a within a black border. The text/context of the meme is at the top and bottom of the image itself. [1] The photoshopped image is closely related to the macro image, but often times is created without the use of text, mostly edited with another image. [1]Advice animals contain a photoshopped image of an animal's head on top of a rainbow/color wheel background. It includes the image macro of the top and bottom text with Impact font.[1] LOLCats incorporate the design of image macro and advice animals, but instead of just the cat's head, it is the entire picture unedited with top and bottom text, often times with the usage of Internet slang. [1] Comics follow a typical newspaper comic strip format. There are a variety of different ways to create on, as multiple images and texts can be used to create the overall meme.[1]
**Citations to be added**
[edit]This format is what gave rise to early Internet memes, like the Hampster Dance.[citation needed] [2]
Originally started on Reddit as r/MemeEconomy,[citation needed] started as a place where people only would only jokingly "buy" or "sell" shares in a meme to indicate what the general populace's thought on a meme's popularity was. [3]
