I think the term "meme" is too loosely defined already, and having a low bar for inclusion on a channel with over 12000 rips is not a wise idea. If we had a 5-10 rip bar, we'd have to include several sources listed in List of songs featured in rips that were either event memes or fleeting at best.

To list a few:
 * "Because I Got High" by Afroman
 * "Spooky Scary Skeletons" by Andrew Gold
 * "Warp to World 6-9" by Benefit
 * "bad guy" by Billie Eilish
 * "Sandstorm" by Darude

...and that doesn't include artists with a lot of rips like Burial, Aphex Twin, and Daft Punk.

Personally, I see no reason to have a page (and therefore a category) for a meme if there isn't something interesting to say about the source and its connection to SiIvaGunner. "Crank Dat Super Mario", for example, was only heavily used during MAR10 Day. It was used sparingly a few times, and from what I can tell there have been no recent rips using it.

I propose we not only have a high count, but also a metric for relevance. Is it a one-off thing? Has it been used by multiple contributors? There was a Crank Dat Super Mario rip just last night and there is still more to come. It's just a little odd to be beautiful girls has it's own category and is on the page despite being majorly used only during an event but not Crank Dat Super Mario. Even Harlem Shake has it's own category now.

The Gracie Films constant battle was also not a fun time lol. I know a lot of people who really didn't like the category being removed 3 times, despite it being used a bunch of times. And it was only because people assumed it was a one-off thing. Yet Game Dude was added to the meme page when it was still only KnightOfGames making the rips and had far less rips. I think the count is already strict enough has is considering how many rips come out at a time and how big the queue being gives it a low oppurtunity to shine more. There's like 10 new memes being used at once on the channel rn by team members and at this rate it'll probably take the entire year just to get half of them on the page.
