What does the “Milhouse Is Not A Meme” meme mean?

Where does the “Milhouse Is Not A Meme” meme come from?
The joke emerged on the /b/ (Random) board of 4chan, likely between 2004 and 2005. Users posted numerous images of Milhouse Van Houten to force his popularity. Others responded that he was not a valid meme. This repetition transformed the denial itself into a meme. The first documented thread dates to October 2, 2007, confirming an earlier, undated origin. The creators remain anonymous, with roots in community text-based interaction.
