    Cultural meme is, like you said: unit of cultural information that spreads by imitation.

    Internet memes are pictures that are either funny, ironic, or relateable.

    Those are two different things and this is neither. This is a screenshot of a political opinion.

      Yes, and that is also a:

      unit of cultural information that spreads by imitation.

      Sharing/Crossposting/rebloghing/etc.

      very simple concept you’re ailing to grasp spectacularly

      Also: if you think a screenshot of an opinion from a micro log site isn’t a meme GTFO microblogmemes ffs
