Still though, is this even a meme at all?

    Meme: an idea, behavior, style, or piece of media that spreads from person to person within a culture, often via imitation or rapid online sharing.

    Yeah I think this would count.

    I personally think that definition is too broad, as a person who grew up with the memes taking form, and the internet taking shape.

    The term was first defined in the 70s. Memes are not a new thing that took form with the internet, nor are they limited to the internet at all.
