"Parasite Emblem" is more like a Jesus and Mary Chain take on crunkcore

fort thunder dudes like chippendale and paperrad or whatev would do weird and wild stuff in their art with thngs like garfield and bart simps, but it was always really mutated and distorted and weird, and generally pretty awesome.

Pretty sure there were plenty of bands in the early 90s that were like "lol-Brady Brunch" in a similar vein to what you're describing
― sarahel
Spencer Krug from Wolf Parade/Sunset Rubdown was in one called The Friendly Ghosts circa 1992. I think there was a band called Mystery Machine around the same time. It was very much in the air.
The generational divide used to sometimes mean that older people were actively hostile to the way the kids dressed or whatever. Now we just want to copy them so we can be cool dads and stay "relevant." So maybe the only way for them to really get to us is to name their band Reading Rainbow or some shit and we get all mad and "back in my day..."
- wk
Yeah, Ducktails really was hoping to stick it to those 30-something dads when he named his act.
― FetchboyMight not be an attempt to actively aggravate a generation gap, but there must be some sort of age-signifier effect in action if only subconsciously.

"Teen Wolf" seems to fit right in except bands with "wolf" in their name were hip in like 2004.

this band doesn't actually exist but "Vaginal Reference" would be a great band name for one of these bands
just came up with this in chatz

Pwin Teaks reminds me of that thread from a few years back about how a music genre is officially dead when a band comes along that is a perfect caricature of the genre (Jet/00s garage rock being an example)
it's like Poe's Law for pop.
― Cunga, Tuesday, 12 October 2010 21:51 (thirteen years ago) link
i thought genres were born when they gelled into something that could easily be caricatured. up until then it's just sounds, y'know?
