Is it just me

Or is dubbing something you've just created "viral" overstepping things a bit? Something has to first spread virally before being classified as viral. Right? Or has this term become like "pop" music, where it doesn't actually mean popular, but a genre? If I recorded myself dancing around my bedroom and never put it online, would that be a viral video, just by virtue of being? Much like helmet laws, this is deeply philosophical. I hope you enjoyed this popular famous viral blog post.
