Harlem Shake was early 2013. You could dig up the articles written on it. They all use the word meme. Not "meme" with quotation marks or viral, but the word meme. Los Angeles Times and Time articles use it. Harlem Shake was the breakout meme where even people who hated computers knew what it was because I was shoved in their faces.
Most people by then knew what a meme was, and the tipping point was earlier than 2013. I was one of those dumbasses who thought meme was pronounced "meh-meh" and people laughed at me when I said it out loud. This was in late 2007 btw.
