More your "social niche," as it applies more to how you deal with
others than how you deal with sensorial input.

Precisely, the things we're talking about here are the things memetics
was originally conceived to describe and explain. Who is prone to
pick up these memes, who's prone to spreading them, how do they mutate
on the way.

Total myth. Total. I wish it /would/ spread, it'd be a more
worthwhile memengineering feat than spreading the CoV any day. :)

More you pick up memes when exposed to those who either are infected
with them or possess them and /want/ you to be infected with them.
Once they're in your head you either use them actively (are infected
by them) or they're inactive `reference' memes, much like we can
discuss the LA Gang Behaviour meme without acting like LA Gang
members.
