Anything memetic is a meme. This has been shared organically with no monetary incentive by users for the sake of amusement. That makes it a meme.
You're thinking of an image macro. You're right, this isn't an image macro.
Its not a fucking meme either.
Colloquial definitions are not prescribed.
A TikTok screenshot is just documentation of someone else's context.
By any modern definition a meme requires some element of remix, juxtaposition, or intentional humor that turns raw content into a cultural shorthand
This isn't that.
By your definition, a stop sign is a meme. Congrats, you've made the modern word useless.
Meme - noun:
-Oxford
-Merriam-Webster
Seems to fit the definition of a meme to me.
