Making a meme is like making a joke where the punchline is basically worked out for you, you just need to figure out ingredients.
I’m not great with meme templates but take the Drake ugh/yay one. You just need something we dislike and a related thing we like. The punch line is Drake’s expression etc.
Yeah, I get that. It’s just, there isn’t really a revelation here. That’s just what memes are: units of cultural expression based on broadly recognizable forms. “A hammer is a weight on a stick you hit things with” isn’t really a showerthought, it’s just stating the definition of a hammer.
I’m familiar with the term, just trying to figure out an interpretation that isn’t just restating the definition of meme.
I think they mean in a boilerplate joke sense.

There’s more to a good meme but…

I agree it’s just another way to say the same thing.
Unless OP means memes are like packed snow.
