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.

Is there some kind of benefit to putting rose petals in water, or is it just supposed to look pretty?
I simply don't get the appeal. Having to clean up/unclog petals from a draining bathtub sounds like it would negate the peaceful, relaxing energy that a bath provides, doesn't it?
Same question for rose petals in a bed. Peeling squished petals off my skin sounds like an annoying interruption to a sexy/romantic night, not something that adds value. Do people actually do either of these things IRL? Or are they just used to symbolize "romance" in media?
It looks good in pictures. Real humans don't do that unless copying a picture they saw, and th n they never do it again.
Definitely the symbology aspect, fresh rose petals are inconvenient as hell. I did the bed thing for my girlfriend one year for our anniversary but used fake fabric petals. No sticking, and I saved them for the next occasion. Your points are exactly the reason why I did that.
While symbology is a word, I don't think it's what you want to use in this scenario.
Real people have sex on moon rocks.
A lor of places have mesh around the drain that would catch them. The even make plastic things to stick over top for that purpose. I think it's for image and aroma.
