It's called http://www.yourscenesucks.com/ - Your Scene Sucks . I should probably count myself lucky that I have only met half of the subcultures it makes fun of...  I think it's pretty funny myself.

I've seen them all but belong to none. We proggers tend to be generic I suppose

Poor you. If I ever encountered the "popcore dork" dude I'd probably run away in absolute existential terror.

Oh yes, I've been called a "pseudo-neo-hippy" - a response to which I stared at the person like a deer in headlights and tried my best not to smack them. |

I, funnily enough, look pretty much like a stereotypical grunge fan. This is funny because I find grunge the most consistently disappointing of all rock subgenres. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

Looking at the cover art of Fly By Night, I wonder if Rush should take credit for the O RLY? fad. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

Makes the O RLY? owl look more angry than incredulous. Now here is something to ponder over: What those stereotypical "grey"-type aliens, like the Asgard in Stargate SG-1 for example, are to humans is basically what Owls are to other birds. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

Yeah. For the records, Greys are also to humans what humans are to monkeys (less hair and muscles, more brain and eyes)... and "someone who is to man as man is to ape" is IIRC how Nietzsche describes his "übermensch".

Actually, if there is anything I know about punk is that if a subgenre of punk rock can be conceived of it probably exists. So somewhere out there, probably in Uzbekistan, there is a blossoming Wombatcore Punk scene. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

Better get to Uzbekistan wearing all your scene gear while the scene is still ripening there vomp. Yes - make sure your look is totally original, despite how stupid that may make you look. Seems to be the way kids are doing it these days |

| I think I've heard of Wombatcore. If my memory serves me right it's exactly like Hardcore, except they use a kazoo instead of vocals. |

You guys need to see Invention Pioneers of Note on the same site, that one makes a little more sense and has more of an actual point. Not to say that it doesn't end in a hair-raisingly inane way, but I think that it's part of its entire concept. I'd say it's objectively the better of the flash toons on CrazyAwesome.

I know this is thread necromancy.... but http://www.dobi.nu/yourscenesucks/portraits.htm - YourSceneSucks is now offering to make drawings of readers for inclusion! This could be how we'll get that Rob Dobi dude to recognize us progheads. However, do we really want that?
