I want to paint a giant glittery splodge over it that says GLAM ROCK!

[electricwitch]

It of course depends whether you want to call the person in question that. I'll just add that she is a big momus fan, so WHY IS EVERYONE SURPRISED?

[spiralsheep]

The diagram is more aimed at people who describe themselves as "edgy", hence the " ". I'm told she also simulated sexual assault to signify her support for gay marriage? Which is, I'm sure, precisely the sort of "support" that the kind of non-straight people who want to enter the monogamous and heteronormative institution of marriage are hoping for... NOT. ::wryface::

I would join in with rubbishing momus but you're sooo much bettererer at it than I am.... ;-P

[electricwitch]

No I meant whether she sees herself as glamrock. Which is possible. Her stuff is accepted in Stay Beautiful though I always thought it was more goth.

Ah for the days when she supported the Legendary Pink Dots on tour! They wouldn't stand for this shit. Momus would though.

[spiralsheep]

Ah, I've always got the impression she's aiming more at performance art and cabaret than glam rock but, of course, that's another overlapping Venn diagram.

Momus would though.

LOLZ! And momus posts defending her in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1....

man if he hears about it he totally will, or he'll be like HA SHE JUST ISN'T EDGY ENOUGH YET FOR MEEE.

[spiralsheep]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

[electricwitch]

lolololol holy shit that is the best thing I've seen in ages.

[spiralsheep]

I thought you'd appreciate it. fridgepunk brings the lolz!

[spiralsheep]

We could dedicate the two intersecting bits to (art (glam rock) shocking (art school rock) "edgy") ?

[electricwitch]

True, dat, though if glamrock is fake edgy on purpose, does that make it edgy for parodying edgy or art? What if it involves ironic ironic nazis?

[spiralsheep]

WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME, O RHETORICAL ONE, WHEN WE BOTH KNOW YOU KNOW FAAAAAAR MORE ABOUT THIS THAN MEEEE??1!!

[electricwitch]

lol because I never think about it, I JUST LAUGH AT IT.

[spiralsheep]

Lolololololol!

Also, I want a new rule: "If South Park did it years ago then no-one is even allowed to pretend it's 'edgy'."

[electricwitch]

I agree with this rule and would like to subscribe to its newsletter.
