        Do I need to? People and likewise the internet aren’t defined by a dictionary. This image doesn’t even have the necessary visual to be considered a meme. It is just text inside a image. You don’t even need the screenshot

          People and likewise the internet aren’t defined by a dictionary.

          But the meaning of words is described by a dictionary.

          you don’t need to but you should. and if you’re not going to use a word with the correct meaning, it’s better to not use it at all.

        There isn’t a single definition. However, memes need some sort of idea with a visual that supports the idea. This is just text and doesn’t even need the image. It would of been more accessible if it was a text post.

        original definition: an element of a culture or system of behavior passed from one individual to another by imitation or other nongenetic means.

        Second definition: an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, with slight variations.
