How to birth a meme?

Everytime i come up with something sly and witty and then make a picture of it that makes me laugh till I soil myself then post it in /b/ you /b/tards always shoot it down.

So tell me, how are memes actually born?

Or do i just have a very dry and bland sense of humor?

Is >>1 copypasta?  Sorry, I don't go to /b/.
