copypasta

It's a copy and pasted block of text usually posted on a message board to troll newer users and as an inside joke between older users. Copypasta can usually be found posted in a discussion about any subject, and will usually be intended to draw out newer users into responding negatively to it, much to the amusement of more veteran users.

Copypasta might have started out as a real post somewhere, but people might have found the story so stupid or amusing that they post the exact thing years later to mess with people. It's much like a group of friends getting together to mock what another person said in the past and laughing about it.
User 1 posting copypasta:
"Hey Faggots,
My name is John, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass pictures"

User 2:
Hey, I'll kick your ass for talking like that

User 3:
"lol, look at this guy replying to copypasta"

copypastapocalypse

To take place on 11/11/11
A call for all those who want to put an end to the stupidity that has gripped the social networks & such where people copy & post other people's statuses with inane, pointless posts, fake news, or 'causes'
The copypastapocalypse will be millions of user's unfriending anyone who participates in such practices, cleaning up their newsfeed of such nonsense & socially isolating the perps for such idiotic behavior.
After the copypastapocalypse, you will no longer get requests to "copy & paste this to your status or Jesus will smite you" type bullshit.
Yes, that means your mom will no longer be your friend on facebook.

r/copypasta

The internet's biggest copypasta archive. Also a great place to disguise your personal rants and/or unpopular opinions as a copypasta.
I had a controversial opinion that I wanted to share on r/unpopularopinion, but didn't want to get any backlash so I posted it on r/copypasta instead where nobody took it seriously.
