Are we just using the word "meme" to mean joke now?
"an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme" (from the Wikipedia article) seems to be a perfect fit for what's going on in this post.
Soo... "yes", we've changed the definition from "image macro" to "any joke"
Lol, the word "meme" was introduced as a parallel to gene and religion was provided as an example of a very strong meme. At one point the word started to be used for memes that spread over the internet, and since most of those were image macros, a lot people came to believe that meme means "image macro".
But jokes are a wonderful example of meme. There are jokes that have been going around since ancient times, some with almost no alterations.
