Copypasta refers to blocks of text that are copied and pasted repeatedly across internet forums, social media, and chat rooms. The term originated in the early 2000s on 4chan, evolving from 'copy-paste' to describe everything from creepy 'creepypasta' stories to aggressive rants like the famous Navy Seal monologue. Unlike traditional image-based memes, copypastas rely on linguistic patterns, repetition, and often absurdly specific details to achieve humor or annoyance. Today, they serve as a cornerstone of digital folklore, used to troll, express inside jokes, or mock overly serious online personas through relentless duplication.
