Urban legends or scary stories circulating on the Internet, many times revolving around specific videos, pictures or video games.[324]
The term "creepypasta" is a mutation of the term "copypasta": a short,
readily available piece of text that is easily copied and pasted into a
text field. "Copypasta" is derived from "copy/paste", and in its
original sense commonly referred to presumably initially sincere text
(e.g. a blog or forum post) perceived by the copy/paster as undesirable
or otherwise preposterous, which was then copied and pasted to other
sites as a form of trolling.
