What is a meme? How do you define 'meme'? If you're talking about what you can repost, what you can shitpost, what you can share and upvote, then 'meme' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain
Memes are satyrical portrayals of reality through a distorted lens that makes it seem more lighthearted or humourous.
One dude informing a dumbass of what is happening is not really a meme any more than any conversation is.
Thanks, Mr. Dawkins, but I'm obviously referring to the colloquially-understood definition, which definitely does not include an ordinary exchange of two messages on a social media platform, lol.
Oh my God. You didn't even recognise that bit as being ripped straight from the matrix did you. I'm so old.
