I think it would be redundant to say that memes have now gone mainstream as the very thing that makes something memetic would imply that it is already mainstream.
From Wikipedia:
Proponents theorize that memes are a viral phenomenon that may evolve by natural selection in a manner analogous to that of biological evolution…. Memes do this through the processes of variation, mutation, competition, and inheritance, each of which influences a meme’s reproductive success. Memes spread through the behavior that they generate in their hosts. Memes that propagate less prolifically may become extinct, while others may survive, spread, and (for better or for worse) mutate. Memes that replicate most effectively enjoy more success, and some may replicate effectively even when they prove to be detrimental to the welfare of their hosts
The Spider-Man impostor meme is one of the more famous memes. Add to that the fact that Spider-Man is already mainstream and you’ve got a recipe tailor-made to capitalize on!
