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.

Valyrian steel can kill white walkers, and that Needle is made of it gets brought up repeatedly when Martin is reminding the readers of where all the known Valyrian steel swords are.
I have no recollection that Needle is made from Valyrian steel. Besides, if I remember correctly, it is only confirmed in the show that valyrian steel kills the white walkers. In the books, so far, the only material confirmed to kill the white walkers is dragon glass, which, Sam is the only on who has slain a walker so far.
Needle is, as far as I know, made by a local blacksmith in Winterfell and I seriously doubt he has access to valyrian steel since they are extremely rare and the only valyrian sword in winterfell is Ice until Ned is decapitated and it is reforged into two swords: Widows Wail which is given to Joffrey and oathkeeper which Jaime gives to Brienne.
Valyrian steel is super prestigious metal only owned by a lucky few and I don't think that bastard Jon would have his tomboy sister's first practice sword made from it.
