[|Lankshear and Knobel], p. 219, devised a list of prompt questions for analyzing online memes. I applied these questions to the Hampsterdance video meme. I am curious why it has endured for eleven years. The first focus is defining the meaning of the meme. The Hampsterdance meme is being conveyed through an adorable small cuddly animal that has a squeaky voice and is very appealing to children and women. The social relations are that many people have owned a hamster as a pet and can connect with the animal's sweetness. When a person views this meme the cuteness factor makes it difficult not to share with other people, so they can feel that good, happy feeling. The values, beliefs and worldviews tell us that people in general want to share goodness and dancing is a fun filled attribute we all like to do.
