me too I don’t get it because it’s in memes. it’s the boomer-comedian execuse for just wanting to be funny not offensive when you find what they say offensive, while also opting to show they make a valid point when you don’t.
Haha funny images that follow an established template
That’s a terrible definition for the word, way too narrow. The actual use of the word meme in modern language is much broader than that. Here is a list of trending memes that don’t fit your definition:
What a stupid take; I don’t know who coined the term “coffee,” does that mean I don’t know what coffee is?
And yeah sorry to inform you dude, but you are the only one incorrectly thinking that meme means “funny image.”
What you’re describing is an image macro, a specific type of meme.
And honestly taking it further, it is the templates used themselves that are mematic, not the individual images themselves, if we wanna get real pedantic about it.
Meme does not, and has never, been “funny images that follow a template” any more than “music” is “down tuned guitar riffs over blast beats.” That is just a singular example of the greater form.
This being posted on this sublemmy implies this is an ironic post. For those of you without the ability to read between the lines.

Really? Memes don’t need to be ironic or funny.
Doesn’t match any definition of meme. Other than Richard Dawkin’s maybe.
Other than the dude who literally coined the term?
As in like, the definition of a meme? What the hell definition are you using?
Yeah I thought the literal definition of a meme is an idea that gets shared
I don’t maybe the way people use the word, like every other fucking word.
My guy, that is how everyone else uses the word.
Again, what definition are you using, because the rest of us are entirely in the dark about what you mean
Haha funny images that follow an established template. You think most even know who Dawkins is?

Now you are just being willfully obtuse to protect your ego. Go look up the difference between descriptive and prescriptive.
