bullet A theme is a central idea or message within a composition.
bulletA meme is an idea or fashion which becomes a (mindless) fad and is spread by imitation; usually via the internet and antiesocial meeja. It is derived from the Greek work mimema, an imitation, by shortening it to resemble the existing word gene.
bullet A weme is a meme spread by wonky wokes and therefore pernicious.
