They're called image macros, not memes.

One is a subset of the other. You could also call these ones "advice dog variants" or "unfunny reddit cancer".
In this case, yes the memes are a subset of image macros. However that's because the algorithm only produces images. Not all memes are images, like hit F to pay respect, the old $pun -aroo, Zoop, and my axe, and we did it reddit are all examples of non image macro based memes.
If you live in 2002 yeah
