If not, there should be a separate page created for "popular and/or commonly referenced pastas." I'm pretty sure I've seen the above given as the reason for the page's being there, though--and someone who's lived under a rock and has never heard music in their life would probably benefit from hearing The Beatles, too. That's exactly what it is, yes! But the point we're getting at here is that we're trying to get Creepypasta to move on from the Lost Episodes and Video Games genre, and try to encourage more amateur writers to start becoming more active here.

For future purposes, we don't want people to associate Creepypasta as a "dead internet meme" but as "nice little online horror short stories."

Perhaps I'm explaining this badly, so I'll put it this way. We're not promoting "The Beatles" of pastas in the SR, we're promoting The Monkees :P haha (for the most part, anyway.)
