The differences in how people view meme coins are really significant. Different contexts lead to very different conclusions.

A common perspective is: as long as a token has no utility, or is considered a 'shitcoin,' it is a meme coin.

Another common perspective is: as long as a token has a fair launch (retail and institutions starting on the same line) and a low market cap at launch (like BRC-20 and Pump Fun platforms), it is a meme coin.

These views are too broad and can lead to a loss of recognition and perception of the truly few high-quality meme coins.

I still insist that a good meme coin must first be a good meme before its issuance. 'Good' means it has cultural consensus, an easily recognizable and shareable emotional carrier (like memes), a certain spirit symbolizing a claim, and a global community base. There are not many memes that meet these criteria.
