Nah, this is the only true type of meme

A continuously adapted and shaped image, text or video that gets shared relentlessly.

If something keeps getting shared unchanged, I wouldn't actually consider it a meme, only if it's altered. Otherwise I would just call it a viral post or video or something.

Actually, it's pretty hard to define a meme now that I try to think about it...
