The answer, according to the original definition of meme: yes
That’s not how Internet memes work.
I found the meme police.
They have been complaining for at least three weeks. When I saw this post I had a hunch that it was the same person and I was right. Just an apparently bitter person that doesn’t comorehend that “meme” is not what they think it should be
Wee woo wee wooo
Found one who upvotes anything.
Edit: Found two dozen more who upvote anything.
Except your comment apparently lmaooo
At this point you can go fuck yourself. Thanks for taking the time to run through my full comment history.
Lmaooooooo
Meme is superset of your “internet meme”. Meme is any idea which successfully replicated itself to another mind. If you posted it on the internet it probably succeeded.
No please, go on…

Considering you started with an “actually” post gatekeeping memes, funny comment.
I find myself disagreeing with both sides. OP is gatekeeping what a meme is and you have a very out of date definition and not even the guy who came up with the term.
As a true descriptivist, I think a meme is what people call a meme. If it’s posted and upvoted in a meme community, it is a meme. Let the language community decide on that. Later, you can analyze how the meme culture and the definition of meme has shifted.
But of cause, everyone is entitled to an opinion what a meme should define and make memes about it. Just don’t frame it as if you are right and everyone else is wrong.
Another swing and a miss. But good on you for being persistent.
You should take this L brother you’re embarrassing yourself
Loss? Bitch please. This is showing exactly how many of you idiots mindlessly support any garbage posted in this community.
So toxic.
The irony The irony!!
Who made you the authority on memes? Oh right, nobody.
So with the exact same amount of authority on the subject as you: Yes that is how internet memes work.
Damn, this post had potential to galvanized folks to make better memes but your comments show you’re a dick about it.
checks profile
lack of memes
Bet yours shows the same thing.
But they’re not the one making a meme complaining about meme quality.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Yes, and?
Since OP is being cringe in the comments, I want to take this opportunity to thank all the meme posters on c/memes. You all are the real MVPs (meme).
Picard maneuver is an international treasure and must be preserved
Memes can be anything.
It’s all art. Even if you don’t like it.
