Serious answer: depends on what you're into and what you're looking for.
I've been married a while and I still send my wife memes. Sharing random jokes we found on the internet makes up a big part of our messaging thread, in addition to normal topics of communication (whether we want to go to a thing, what time we'll likely get home from work, what do we want for dinner, can you check to see if we have enough cheese to make this thing I want to make, you won't believe what this asshole said to me at work, etc.).
But the memes are still a big part of our communication, after pretty much starting that way. Our early texts were both coordination of in-person dates, and funny things that made each other laugh.
The handful of relationships I had that started in the smartphone era basically followed that pattern. There were some duds that fizzled out between getting a number and not ever making it to a date, but I don't think I'd want to be with someone who didn't enjoy my communication style. Which, again, is heavily meme based.
