When did comic strips become "memes"? A meme was originally meant to just mean a viral idea or concept, that could be as simple and basic a fact as "the sky is blue", or an idea such as "murder is wrong". Not "a picture with words in". I guess the death of the physical newspaper is partly responsible, and I'll be seeing people call Peanuts or Hagar strips "memes". (I follow old comics on X/Twitter or whatever.)
And yeah, that's how unselfaware they are, and how they only see the surface of anything.
The word meme has been beaten to death at least a decade ago. I saw youtube recommend me some "meme compilation" recently. It's just a bunch of short videos from tiktok without any point to them. I don't think most people are aware of the original meaning, it's just "thing that made me exhale slightly harder" now.
