    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.

      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.

      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.
