Can we say that art has a quality gradient, that is, some art can be qualitatively "better" than other art? I realize art is subjective, but I still feel as though something can meet this definition of art but not necessarily do a good job of it. If that's true, I think memes are at most, low quality art. Memes are intended to invoke a feeling, but they do so with very little subtlety or creativity. They also lack depth or any profundity, in general.
