    Yep. Really comes down to how you want to define “internet meme” – memes do not need a visual.

    One of the oldest memes I can think of is the term spam. It dates back to Usenet.

        It was, but in its sense of flooding with unwelcome online content, it was a Usenet meme first. Goes back to the green card spammers.
