About

Greentext is a commonly used medium on the website 4chan used to tell stories through the use of 4chan’s “green-text”[1] code (including a “>” a the beginning of the sentence) with the story.

Greentext threads are used as a way to share experiences related to the topic of the thread in concise, green-colored sentences.

Unlike >Implying, Greentext stories generally aren’t sarcastic. They can, however, end in a Bel-Air or an Everybody Walk The Dinosaur if the user wants to troll other 4chan users.

Origin

Because of 4chan’s lack of a built-in archival system, the exact origin point is unknown.

But, through the threads that are archived on the separate website Chanarchive[2], we can see that the threads started to become popular in early-2010, with the first archived thread[3] being an awkward moments thread started on March 3, 2010 on the /r9k/ board.

Spread and Additional Threads

Because of the ease of making a Greentext story thread combined with the ease of formatting green text on 4chan, it spread across many of the boards, including /v/, /b/, and /x/.
