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!

All of the best creatures are on the block chain.

You didn’t watch enough trashy Discovery Channel shows from the 00s onward?
