I am going by the original definition of meme, in which jokes and comments (if shared) are a meme, language is a meme too. otherwise you are just talking about captioning images, which are a type of meme, but saying only those are memes is jut dumb.

a tomato is a fruit, but does it belong in a fruit salad?

the real question is what goes on a salad, I there is no rule that no fruiting bodies are allowed in a salad. yet we also add cheese bacon, chicken and mushrooms to salads. what is your point?
