An equity whose price action is driven by viral attention — Reddit threads, TikToks, Twitter pile-ons — rather than earnings or business performance. GameStop and AMC are the archetypes; any forgotten ticker can become one if the meme catches. The defining feature: charts that look insane to traditional analysts and totally logical to anyone who was on r/wallstreetbets that week.
“GME ran from $4 to $483 in a month — the original meme stock.”
