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.

Sorry, I didn't check imdb or rt, I just remember actually seeing it in 2012 and being baffled that it wasn't widely popular at the time, I was constantly introducing people to it who'd never even heard of it.
As I remember, it basically got a 'meh' to 'decent' from critics and was more or less a cult favorite for a while...
But I guess sure, now its finally being more broadly recognized as worth seeing?
... Is there some kind of way to see a historical progression of user scores on RT or imdb?
I'd say archive.org would do you a solid there.
edit: I got curious and checked myself on archive.org
I use IMDB a lot so a few things worth noting: initial scores tend to be high as you have folks who actively wanted to see it voting. There is inevitably a drop off as folks who aren't "into" a specific genre watch and vote. It then it gets harder over time to change the score as more votes have cemented the average. There are currently 305K votes so that 7.1 is likely stuck forever now.
It definitely lost money but there was a fan push for a sequel that seemed to have a bit of steam for a while.
Urban played the perfect Dredd. He absolutely nailed the comic book and Anderson and Ma-Ma were superb too. Definitely one of my favourite sci-fi flicks of all time.
Huh, interesting.
Thanks for doing the research!
Also yes, Lena Heady also gave an incredible performance!
