Some people even say that it transcends the entire Creepypasta genre--into "true literature"--because of how well-written it is. I, of course, think this is silly; literary masterpieces can come from any genre, regardless of whether that genre fits into the narrow scope of popular culture's definition of a "masterpiece".

It's that same bullshit that conditions people into thinking that "only old stuff can be classics" and "all new stuff is crap". Sure, most new stuff is crap, but so is most old stuff. People just don't realize that because the only old stuff that survives through the ages is the good stuff--the stuff that stands the test of time. Most of the stuff being produced nowadays will be forgotten within the next few years, like how most creepypasta on the Internet will be forgotten within the next few weeks (or minutes).

What won't be forgotten is the good stuff. Stuff like Stephen King. Stuff like "Psychosis". Bad stuff is everywhere, sure, but so is good stuff; it's just a lot harder to find. And no matter how much people try to label entire genres of stuff as "good" or "bad", when you get down to it, everything is just stuff. And stuff is what you make of it.

...Wow, I kind of went on a tangent there, didn't I? Oh well, hahaha.

Stuff.
