[ SLANG ][ MEME_CULTURE ][ MARKETING ][ NOUN ]
A forecasted term for brands or campaigns co-opting a genuinely organic meme format to launder a commercial message as if it were authentic internet culture rather than an ad.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"That 'organic' meme was posted by the brand's own marketing account three hours before it 'went viral,' total memewashing."
LORE & ORIGIN
A predictive term modeled on 'greenwashing,' anticipating brands increasingly buying into meme formats specifically to borrow their perceived authenticity rather than participating in the culture genuinely.
