    At this point I’ve seen people use meme for something as generic as something being funny, something being bad, literally just images of tweets, etc.

    But that’s what a meme literally is:

    meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme. A meme acts as a unit for carrying ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.
