Myth Terminology

This page consists of terminology relating to the Myth Genre. Feel free to add to the list words and terms you feel are appropriate to be written and explained.
== Terminology ==
===Basic Vocabulary===
Myth - A ROBLOX account used to tell a story through the usage of character interaction or games. Myths tend to be mysterious and often have to do with disturbing topics. (For examples of this, see this page.)
Legend - A ROBLOX story which has spread and become an urban legend in the ROBLOX community. These stories tend to not have a dedicated account or game to them. They are much more similar to Creepypastas than the usual ROBLOX myths. (For examples of this, see this page.)
Myth Community (known also as the Myth Genre or M Genre) - The community relating to myths and the hunting of them. When used it typically consists of both myths and hunters in one group instead of divided.
===Myth Vocabulary===
Classic Myth - Myths that are old, most people consider classic myths to be from 2015 and below. (For examples of these myths, see this page.)
Modern Myth - Myths that are new, most people consider modern myths to be from 2016 and onwards.
Group Myths/Family Myths - Groups that are either directly myths, or consist of myths. This would include groups such as the Cult Family, Nursery Myths, or Grocery Gang.
Wannabes/Wannabe Myths - A very controversial term that gets thrown around a lot and is often used as an insult (to the point where some myth hunting groups have banned the term, such as RMH). Wannabe myths are identified by being very lazy and attention-grabbing (mostly by self-advertising on myth group walls or other forms of media), using mostly free models, stolen items and objects, and not having very good games yet claiming that they are. A lot of wannabes usually only do it for personal gains such as Robux and attention. Another thing they are associated with is that they attempt to be "scary" and "threatening" usually to no effect unless the target is a small child (i.e. threatening to "hack you", "get your account terminated", or "saying they'll do something to you in real life").
Wannabe Hackers - Wannabe hackers, such as BloxWatch (the fake hacker group that leeched off the original myth known as BloxWatch), also target YouTubers and well-known figures in the myth community/Roblox community such as Albert, Enszo, etc. They also leech off of other myths, claiming to have a special connection to popular myths. They usually have a generic story and are also bland. (Examples include: BloxWatch and TheC0mmunity)
Fake Myths - Fake myths are essentially users who try to leech off an existing story and claim to be part of it when they're really not, or they claim to work or even be the myth in question. They mostly target terminated myths to get attention and trick people, usually smaller children, into believing them. Fake myths do fall under the "Wannabe" type. Examples include: N/A (due to the fact that we do not allow these types of myth pages here, unless having a notoriety for their actions, which has yet to be seen).
(Note: Upcoming myths with bad games do not necessarily mean they are wannabes.)
Myths on Hiatus - Myths that are inactive but haven’t retired such as Lars_Bar and MERITORIUS.
Terminated Myths - Myths that have been terminated by Roblox such as Noli and Lezus. (For examples of these, see this page.)
Retired Myth - Myths that have stopped being myths by choice. Sometimes they still use their accounts, such as BrandonCult and Morgenne, some leave the account altogether like ValleyOfSaints. (For examples of these, see this page.)
Myth by Association - Myths that are considered myths because of their direct association with a myth and wouldn't be considered a myth otherwise. (For examples of these, see this page.)
Myth Affiliated - These are users in and outside of Roblox that are not really myths or myth hunters, but have some connection to the myth community in some way. (Examples include: Merely and TheC0mmunity.)
=== Myth Rankings ===
Popular Myths - Popular Myths are the highest-ranking type of myth, they are very well known in the community and most have great games and stories, most myth hunters are able to tell you about who they are. Another good thing about the Myth Hunting community is that users become myths due to popularity, and the only way to get popular is, be a classic myth, be advertised and hunted by myth hunting groups, be hunted/advertised by a Youtuber, or have many connections to other myths, this means that users with good stories, good building skill/scripting skill, and good games, in general, become myth since other people (myths, myth hunters, myth hunting groups, Youtubers) would be more likely to associate with you, therefore gaining you popularity, and therefore making you a myth; this system also filters Wannabe and Upcoming myths from getting too popular too quickly when their stories aren't developed enough or are just not good in general. (For examples of this, see this page.)
Recognized Myths - These are myths are usually myths that are quite known and popular, but not to the point where most myth hunters would know them. (For examples of this, see this page.)
Small Myths - Mostly like Normal/Average sized Myths but just not as popular. (For examples of this, see this page.)
Upcoming Myths - These are myths that have games and are just starting. They usually lack extreme building or scripting talent like other more popular myths and mostly work on developing their story and games. (For examples of this, see this page.)
Pending Myths - Much like upcoming myths, except these myths don't have games and start very early in the myth community, but once they have games they get upgraded to upcoming myth status. 
=== Myth Hunter Vocabulary ===
Myth Hunters - Users that actively work to uncover the stories or discover details and hidden clues about myths. Myth hunters on this Wiki are on it due to being vital members of the community with great influence. Some key examples would include Mrflimflam, Jokerkid5898, and recklesshavok (For examples of these, see this page.)
Myth Hunting - The practice of searching through a myths profile or game to uncover the story of the myth. This is the main purpose of Myth Hunting Groups.
Myth Hunter Groups - Groups consisting of myth hunters, typically have different standards of what a myth is. Examples of these groups would include Roblox's Myths, Robloxian Myth Hunters, and many more. (For examples of these, see this page.)
