Childlore is folklore passed directly between children, without the input of adults.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childlore

Stuff I can think of off the top of my head are paper fortune tellers, summoning Bloody Mary/the candyman, the cool S, parody songs like “Jingle bells Batman Smells” and “Joy to the world, the teacher’s dead” etc.

This stuff has intrigued me since, well since I was a kid. I always wondered where they came from. I never saw adults doing that stuff, so I figured another kid had to have come up with it.

          I bought a record and half the band signed it after the show. There’s a lot of members so getting the whole band to sign it was a little difficult.

          They are fun for the whole family. Their shows start with a drum line through the crowd. It’s a great way to get the audience pumped. Mid show they told everyone to bring it down and the whole crowd was suddenly half as tall. They’re a real class act.
