>>10492787If a meme is a cultural unit of thought which is codependent on popular maintenance, then an antimeme is an anti-cultural unit of thought which is essentially a parasite on the collective psyche.
A meme is generative of new forms of expression and of more beautiful modes of living, while an antimeme is generative only of negative thoughts, feelings, and repulsive ways of life.
I think this is a fine term to use because it creates a useful distinction between ideas which are prosocial and artistically generative and ideas which are fundamentally antisocial and which degrade the aesthetic sensibility of those who adopt them. Maybe I'm bullshitting though, or maybe there's a better way to put this.
