oldfag here. Is alt-lit dead? Is there a new literary movement to take it's place? Or at least is there any growing collective(s) of writers (consciously or not) with a similar aesthetic or themes?
Alt lit has been coopted by billion dollar extremes
Andrea coates had a baby, some dude was raping people and also Idk what happened to that steve roggenbuck
The truth is, it died after it's natural lifespan elapsed.
'Twere a sickly runt at that.
it died because a bunch of dudes who were big in the scene all got accused of rape/sequel assault at around the same time and nobody wanted to be associated with it after that
