What is an urban legend?In: Urban Legends |
[Edit] |
Answer
It is a myth, hoax or misinformation.
An Urban Legend is somewhat like a myth. Urban happens to mean "city", and legend is "a story coming down from the past." One example of an Urban Legend is some kid ate the candy called Pop Rox and drank pop, and his throat exploded and he died. Even though this particular one is fake, many others haven't been figured out yet.
It's a story that goes from mouth to ear and becomes popular but cannot be verified, most people start to believe it´s true because everyone knows the story.
