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

Like father, like son.
Not flesh, nor fish nor bone,
A red rag hangs from an open mouth.
I keep trying to make friends with skinwalkers but they run away when I try to hug them.
If any cryptid out there actually exists, my bet is on bigfoot just because it would be the most mundane, boring thing to be proven real. Just a big ape? Fuck that. I want the Dover Demon to be real because it's actually interesting.
Bigfoot is just boring enough to be plausible. If they proved it, I would expect a good round of bigfoot memes than a solid meh.
That's why they say God Bless America
can you define cripids for me OP?
M14 with what looks like a 10 round mag using a cheap 10x60 optic? You are most likely a Californian or Canadian using an ineffective firearm against cryptids.
Real Americans use a drum fed semi-auto shotgun loaded P++ .50 caliber deer slugs or a 30-06 cal AR-10 with 25 round mag using a magnified Trijicon optic.
10 round mag? That's the stock 20 my dude
That looks too small to pack 20rds of .308cal, so if it's a .556mm/223cal it's still insufficient to kill any cryptid.
Stop it, you're reviving my Murica patriotism and I don't wanna.
