    I mean, /greentexts exists

    I wouldn’t say they’re memes inherently, though they can be if they’re the navyseals meme or something if it becomes iconic.

      See, that’s the thing. They are still memes. Bits of information that are transmitted with or without modification.

      If a copypasta isn’t iconic, that doesn’t mean it’s not a meme. It’s just a less successful meme than the navyseals meme. Same thing with greentexts, images, comics, reddit posts.
