A series of memes arose in 2021 from a New York Times article that claimed what famous actor was 'unrecognizable' on the set of the Martin Scorsese project 'Killers Of The Flower Moon?' He's recognizable in movies like 'The Beach' and 'The Basketball Diaries.'

The term meme was introduced in 1976 by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins (author of "The God Delusion"). He conceived of memes as the cultural parallel to biological genes and considered them as being in control of their own reproduction.
