We don’t need the word “memes”. The words “idea”, “joke”, etc. already exist and are perfectly cromulent words.
TO-DO: re-read the origin for meme. Which I think is Richard Dawkins “The Selfish Gene“.
confirmed: “The book also introduces the term meme for a unit of human cultural evolution analogous to the gene, suggesting that such “selfish” replication may also model human culture, in a different sense.”
