I wonder if this is generational. When someone says meme, I think advice animal and Impact font

that hasn't been a popular meme format in over a decade

Yes, you have correctly inferred my use of the term generational

Like a lot of words, when they hit popular usage, the meaning tends to morph through misuse.

Nowadays, a meme can encompass pretty much anything that anyone finds funny regardless of medium, format or intent.
