A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Can't people just watch movies at home? Can't people just drink with friends at home? Can't people just watch live bands on TV at home? Can't people just eat dinner at home?
I mean why do people go out to do these things? Because it's a different experience. It's stranger than home. It's maybe something you can't replicate at home. I'm gonna bet people go to strip clubs for tons of varying reasons, from loneliness to entertainment.
That's generalizing. You know quite well that going to strip bar isn't the same as "watching a live band". I could just take your examples further: can't people just find pleasure in their own minds? Why not just imagine being somewhere? In fact, what's the point of imagination? Pleasure is a waste of time and we should just never be happy because life is pointless. Since it's pointless, we shouldn't exist.
I'm asking about a very specific thing because I want to understand that specific thing. Your response is like answering the question "why don't sunni and shia believe the same thing, it's Islam" with "people believe different things and that's alright". Or "why does Joel and Hardy have beef?" with "some people don't like each other, OK?". Or "is this correct?" with "it depends". It adds nothing of value and doesn't really answer the question. It's a bad faith answer.
