To what extent are memes as they are now a micro form of ideology? The majority of them work as a filter through which people run their personal experiences so that they can be organized and shaped. People willfully constrain their expression in a paradoxical way to seem unique. It's very much the same as zizeks notion of the container that shapes it's contents.
I'd say one of the few exceptions to this rule is baneposting. There's next to no room in it for personal experience, most of the time you're playing with the container itself instead of putting anything into it. You can't really turn baneposting into a method of talking about yourself, instead you're playing with the language of the meme itself.
