Meme definition

If it has not been imitated / repeated it's literally not a meme. That's not gatekeeping, it's observing a definition.

You have even agreed with me in your definition. Posting a random picture with some text on it that you made that has imitated nothing is not a meme, it's just a picture with text on it.

    The picture is not necessarily the meme. The format is. That's where you're gatekeeping. Posting a random new picture with a caption on top, that's still a meme format.
