That's mostly true, except memes are ideas, more specifically ideas that spread by being repeated or more accurately by imitation.
I read the book where Richard Dawkins coined the term.
A key feature about a true meme is that it can evolve, which could be said to have been the case here if the meme had been changed. to use the drawing u/Appoxo made for me.
