Unfortunately, what you think does not have any bearing on what the consensus ends up being. What's a meme? Go read the book Memetics by Richard Dawkins who literally invented the term and concept. Most people would agree that the modern usage has strayed far from its original intended definition, and yet the modern usage will ultimately end up defining it. Your definition may have been correct in a certain place at a certain time, but now it's just meaningless and sticking to your guns only makes you look silly.
