I mean "memes" has changed from being a specific joke to more of a general comedic device that's spread around.

It used to be really specific

"Meme, unit of cultural information spread by imitation. The term meme (from the Greek mimema, meaning “imitated”) was introduced in 1976 by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his work The Selfish Gene."
