A picture with a random caption is just a picture with a caption. Memes, the type intended for this thread at least, are images that follow a specific theme, regardless of text though for some memes a portion of the text may remain constant while the rest changes (but theme remains), or in reverse case, the fixed text from one meme is used on a new image. Posting established meme images and not following that theme at all is completely wrong. Posting random images with a random caption isn't even getting a meme wrong, that is being wrong on all bases.
It isn't like VGC doesn't have material for memes to be made, just that pretty much nobody is using it in this thread. Simple rule: If you're making it up as you go along, it isn't a meme.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.
