They only become memes when they start spreading. They're always image macros.
If you've seen it but didn't make it, it has spread
damn
That's true. This IS now a meme.
What grinds my gears is when people say "I made this meme" when first sharing their image macro. It's not a meme and it might never be one. Or it could be huge.
You're right. Maybe there ought to be a term for an attempt at a meme. Maybe a "proto meme"?
