Context: The Slender Man stabbing occurred on Saturday, May 31, 2014, in the city of Waukesha in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, when two 12-year-old girls allegedly lured another girl of the same age into the woods and stabbed her 19 times, purportedly to impress the fictional character Slender Man.

An Internet meme ( ) is an activity, concept, catchphrase or piece of media which spreads, often as mimicry or for humorous purposes, from person to person via the Internet.  An Internet meme may also take the form of an image (typically an image macro), hyperlink, video, website, or hashtag.  It may be just a word or phrase, sometimes including an intentional misspelling.  These small movements tend to spread from person to person via social networks, blogs, direct email, or news sources.  They may relate to various existing Internet cultures or subcultures, often created or spread on various websites, or by Usenet boards and other such early-internet communications facilities.

Some examples include posting a photo of people lying down in public places (called "planking") and uploading a short video of people dancing to the Harlem Shake.
