Is greentext a form of poetry?

Who gives a fuck. Greentext is about the feels, the lulz and the epic stories.

don't try to intellectualise this shit.

Well, it's a method of storytelling. I think it should be categorized somehow.
Besides, it's not like I'm doing this on /b/ or somewhere that greentext stories actually occur, so it's not like I'm polluting the discourse of greentext in any way.

no you don't understand
if you are writing poetry it gives you a free pass to string together literally any words you want
there's no need for coherency or a central theme just so long as it sounds pretty
i like the feeling when i take a shit after three days of not taking a shit

Not going to lie, that green text story was short and beautiful.

greentexts are just short storys in a special format imo

That's a very interesting idea. I'd be inclined to say that you could consider greentexting a very avant form of poetry, yes.

I bet you want your art to be apolitical

I don't know if I would say 'poetry' is the best way to describe it OP, but I see what you mean. It's a neat, short, and sweet way of telling a story or joke. The format (>be x, >have x, >meet x) is not strict but evolved over time through how people use and respond to it. It's a tool to deliver information through words that developed into a 'meme' of sorts that now transcends some internet communities, and has probably existed as far back as early chans or IRCs, if not earlier.

I don't know what you'd call this. It's part of the culture.

Culturally speaking, it's as normal for us to >imply or >mfw as it is for a person to introduce a joke or argument in real life. It's a form of expression.

I'm bretty sure it's just what people resort to after having been robbed of their attention spans by internet addiction.
