why have I never encountered the word 'cryptid' until 2024, specifically in meme form, multiple times? Odd thing. tf are the kids up to these days
Funny enough, the term was coined in the 80's
I guess I've been getting all the goblincore posts, not enough cryptid action. I need to switch it up!
Sure, but the fad about them among the kids is recent.

It's of course because these creatures came from crypto currencies. They just took a while to mature to a point where people started witnessing them
All of the best creatures are on the block chain.

You didn’t watch enough trashy Discovery Channel shows from the 00s onward?
Never saw the cinematic masterpiece that was Harry and the Hendersons?
