Pretty sure this meme is so old it can legally drink beer.

I think this predates the modern definition. Remember when meme referred to a very specific type of image edit and not just like, any photo that gets shared?

Those were called image macros and were only ever one type of meme

I remember when "meme" was a flakey concept dreamed up Richard Dawkins.
