Overrated vs. Underrated is a controversial topic in anything. People will always be quick to defend things that are overrated like its their child (See also: Frozen) and shit on the ones that are underrated and vice versa. When it comes to creepypastas, however, the question remains the same: Did the stories get popular because they showed literary exemplification (Penpal) or did it become popular because a lot of people thought it was shitty, passed it around to their friends, who in turn passed it on to their friends, and it goes viral as a result (Jeff the Killer, Sonic.exe)?
