Morphology

Internet + culture

The meaning 'the customs and norms that develop from people interacting online' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'Internet' (the global network) with 'culture' (shared ideas and practices). This noun–noun composition aligns with common cross-linguistic patterns (e.g., Spanish cultura de Internet) and would be readily inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.

Etymology

Internet culture comes from imagining the Internet as a busy place where people meet and build a shared culture of inside jokes, memes and simple rules. So, 'internet culture' means the 'customs', 'memes' and 'ways people behave' online.
