Is there some unwritten law that every ever-more offensive genre must be one-upped by one that's even more offensive?

When Lux Interior sang songs about cutting off heads and putting them in TV sets it was a tongue-in-cheek joke.

Now we apparently have a new breed that sings about stuff like this ALL the time and takes it seriously. Jeezus.

I'll bet the fundamentalists wish they only had the Beatles to worry about. The good ol' days. This new genre makes 'Gangsta Rap' look practically cuddly by comparison.

Some of the extremely extreme death metal and grind bands (plus attendent spin offs like gore-grind etc etc) 'sing' about pretty 'what-the-fuck' gruesome and wantonly offensive stuff, albeit in a fairly cartoony way.

Pfffft he has nothing on the Norwegians

The only good christian is a dead one

A *breed?*

What you think every single person who hears this stuff is going on a murder spree? Or just the ones who are a bit shat anyway?

'The scene' obviousy fitted his needs, not the other way round.

Just hope there's no call to 'ban it' or anything or the bordeline loons on the cusp of following the instructions will find an even greater reason to go for it.

And, why did that report show a picture of him in all his 'oooh ah'm scary' glory?

You are the 'Dad' of the board!

As others have mentioned, it's quite tame compared to what was going on in early 90s Norway with the 'Black Metal' scene there etc.
Of course, it's not a competition!
The book- 'Lords Of Chaos' by Michael Moynihan and Didrik Søderlind is a mind-boggling read.
What's even more astonishing is when you see the photos of the geeks involved, some look like you could snap them in half with one arm tied behind your back!
There again, when someone's holding a big sword behind you...

I heard some songs by that guy who kidnapped that teenaged girl you heard about -- kept her in the backyard for 18 years. Sounded alot like Danzig(!)

OK so it's not what I thought -- must've been that cheesy inane horror-gangsta shit like Insane Clown Posse (who don't seem to go away at all, they're playing my town soon unfortunately...) Did I happen to say I really hate ICP? Really obnoxious homophobic assholes, that lot. The only bigger wankers (using that British term again when I'm a Yankee...) are the fans of that pablum.

Never heard of “horrocore” before reading this, but looking online I found an interesting write-up: http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2009/10/horrorcore-is-bad-for-societyhumanity-horrorcore-must-die.html
The article is written in a self-consciously “ironic” way which I usually can’t stand though actually works quite well when dealing with this particular genre. I especially recommend checking out the 15-minute “Juggalo gathering” you-tube clip that’s half-way down or so. If I came across it without any context, I would think this was some brilliant SNL-type parody or something…

What a twat. I bet those little pricks in Manchester who couldn't get a girl to kiss them so fantasised about wearing black raincouts and shooting everyone in school liked that kinda thing.

I hate them people. In fact I fantasise about walking round a school hall full of them, picking them off one by one with my big gun aand wanking. Then that girl in the fourth year will like me.
