Two separate categories: Meme games[*] don't have to be vibecoded, not all vibecoded things become meme games.

I would include games like Goat Simulator, Horse Magnifier, Squirrel with a Gun, QWOP, Untitled Goose Game, Trollface Quest...

Then they ran with it for a while after it struck a chord with people willing to give them money.
