If you wanna get technically, according to Richard Dawkins, author of The Selfish Gene (1976) which first coined the term "meme", a meme is "a unit of culture—such as “tunes, ideas, catch‐phrases, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or building arches.” 

So yes, your post would count as a meme, but so would pegging

To be honest, pegging has given birth to some real dank memes.
