By your thinking, the letter A on a transparent background is a "meme"

If people post it around, it is.

By the most useless definition of the word I guess, but I don't see how it is supposed to be meaningful to anyone but a linguist with that specific opinion.

I mean the letter A itself is a meme, transparent background or not.

You can even trace its evolution back thousands of years.

I realize that. But applying the term there is basically just using it as a glorified version of "thing" and that's not at all how most people use that term.
