internet culture
Web community norms
Internet culture encompasses the shared behaviors, humor, language, and social norms that have emerged from online communities.
This includes memes, viral content, platform-specific etiquette, and the rapid evolution of slang.
What begins in niche forums often spreads to mainstream awareness: Internet culture has its own celebrities and inside jokes.
The term captures both the creative output of online spaces and the distinctive ways people interact within them—the irony, the absurdism, the pile-ons, the fleeting obsessions.
