A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

According to MW online, alliteration is consecutive words beginning with the same (usually) consonant sounds.
So by that definition, neither "happy hour", nor OP's very good attempt to fix it, "appy hour", would count as alliteration.
I always thought repeated words starting with the same vowel sounds would also count. It wouldn't help in this case, though. But apparently repeating vowel sounds is called "assonance."
Repeating consonant sounds is called consonance. Along with assonance, both are the respective consonant and vowel types of alliteration.
