seems like everyone at one point was on board with this girls stuff, and then recently like 60% of people got off board while the other 40% doubled down on their fandom

I guess everyone hates them now? Was anything ever proven? I stopped paying attention after like two days so I missed what the conclusion was on these guys.

Or "sporkcore" in general (Mr. Bungle, Cardiacs, Butthole Surfers, Ween, TMBG, Boredoms, Primus, Residents, Beefheart, etc.)

>sporkcore
You mean mallgoth?

>>74296725
sporkcore is fun where mallgoth is edgy.

Also sporkcore is codeword for "good music".

>>74296756
Seems like sporkcore is just trying to be less edgy at the sacrifice of some great artists. Mallgoth goes too far, I agree, but...

If you can enjoy Beefheart then why not Naked City? That's all I'm saying. Abstract bands that are fun are great, but one's that are meant to not be fun can be great too.

Yeah, I'm kind of confused by this whole "sporkcore/mallgoth" thing
I seem to get the general idea of the term (the artists I listed in my Zappa post) but then I look at the "mallgoth charts" and see Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, John Coltrane, Aphex Twin...none of this seems related at all
I've never met anyone who listens to both Melt-Banana and Rob Zombie, not to mention avant-prog bands like Magma or Henry Cow
It's like this weird ultra-specific half-projecting strawman for some sort of annoying teenage music fan that doesn't really exist
And I always thought that "mallgoth" was reserved for Evanescence and Korn and whatnot
Besides, stuff like Bungle and Cardiacs seemed pretty widely loved around here a year or two ago, but now they seem to get hated on indiscriminately...what happened?

>>74296967
I completely agree. The charts I see for mallgoth don't align at all with what I used to associate mallgoth music with. I always imagined mallgoth as literally the goths in trip pants at the food court who where into evanescence too. The genre has become so weirdly eclectic, to the point that possibly the point of the genre is to be eclectic.

The only music fan who would simultaneously be into every band listen on mallgoth charts is either a literal encyclopedia of music or doesn't exists. The combinations make no sense.

I have no idea how we got here or who decided this, but it's all out of whack.
