Sometimes a meme about a work, that wasn't originally included in the original, attracts the attention of the author responsible for that artwork, and the original author decides to actually include it in their future artwork.
One webcomic that made new comedy out of old Garfield strips by removing the title character so it seemed that Jon was a lonely delusional weirdo, was made into a book actually endorsed by writer Jim Davis, too, and complete with several Garfield Minus Garfield actually made by Davis himself. This is an excellent example of an ascended meme.

Get the Meme Dealer mug.It's not just about the format. Old internet memes (circa 2006-2015) were generally less obnoxious, less obscene, less grotesque, less stupid, less deadpan, less political, and just generally more graceful and lighthearted. You never took them seriously, and they always made you smile or laugh (NOT smirk!)
Today's memes often leave you smirking rather than smiling or giggling, as the meme often plays with the more ironic, farce and brazen side of humour. This makes for a less "happy" experience as such. Certainly not something you'd be consuming/posting unironically, unlike nyan cat, animal advice, and lolcat memes.
Another difference between modern and old memes is the level of irony. Obviously memes of all kinds is not meant to be taken seriously, but most modern memes will add a layer of irony on top of a seemingly serious context to make it seem funny or silly. Old memes are just funny or silly by its very nature.
Old memes can be virtually understood by anyone of any demographic and the humour is often naturally communicated by the image. Modern memes tend to be too ambiguous to be understood correctly by everyone and the humour is specific to a certain demographic (i.e. Gen Z teenagers). Serious debriefing is required to understand most modern memes, even the ones with zero meaning.
Overall, old memes just had that quirky yet graceful charm that modern memes lack. Old memes rule, don't let anyone tell you otherwise (and if they do, they're probably a zoomer).

Get the old memes mug.An animation meme is a short animation made by (usually younger) animators of a character usually dancing or bopping their head to a song.
It does fit the definition of a meme, as a meme is "an element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means" according to google.
A lot of people will say they're low quality, but I can't find any of the memes they're referring to without watching a cringe compilation.
And when they are bad, they're made by kids. Don't expect them to be professional-level animators.
If you want to watch some high-quality animation memes, I reccomend Dexechii, Blackie Sootfur, Butterknives and Roxxie

"I saw this video of a furry dancing, and it said it was a meme but it wasn't funny at all!"
"yeah, that's a different type of meme. it's an animation meme, you may not like it but it still exists. nobody made you watch it."
