Oz ,'First Date'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Like Hostel, Part 2 or something?
Closer to early Clive Barker (who would be the William Gibson), but Hostel-type stuff probably fits. As Jilli notes, it was a mostly parodic appellation, though I do have a splatterpunk anthology somewhere in my library.
Early Peter Jackson probably would count too, film-wise.
I feel like I should be offended.
I own and love lots of Twee Pop. Embrace it. Be Twee as Fuck. Be a Monster of Twee. (It is just a subset of Indie Pop that's bit on the emo side.)

Huh, I never think of Clive as a splatterpunk author, even tho' his early stuff certainly fits. When I think splatterpunk, I think of David J. Schow, and the Dynamic Duo of John Skipp and Craig Spector, back when they WERE a Dynamic Duo and still speaking to and writing books with each other.
Be Tweecore! Be A Tweehugger! There is unrest in the forest; there is trouble with the twees!
You mean emo used to mean something other than "I'm *SO* sensitive! Excuse me while I swoon."?
You may have noticed I don't make it much of a priority to stay au courant with the genres de jour.
And I suddenly seem to have gone French.

Yeah, that was probably a stretch on my part (probably based on stuff I read in the intro to the anthology and in a Village Voice article), but it seemed closer to what I was thinking of than the recent spate of torture porn movies.

I think of myself as more of an indie rocker than an indie popper. Well, at least in what I listen to; it's more on the loud side. I don't act Disturbed when I eat my Korn.
"Twee" sounds so derogatory when people use it.
"I'm *SO* sensitive! Excuse me while I swoon."?
No it's more "I'm *SO* sensitive! Excuse me while I thrash away on this guitar/this bass/these drums."
"I'm *SO* sensitive! Excuse me while I swoon."?
Add "While drinking absinthe and reading vampire novels by candlelight", and you've got a shorthand for goth.
No it's more "I'm *SO* sensitive! Excuse me while I thrash away on this guitar/this bass/these drums."
Yes. This is my understanding of Emo, tho' I think you need to add "While wearing skinny black jeans and a lot of eyeliner".
I'm a poor judge anyway, I think the most recent thing on my play list is Bon Jovi's "Its My Life."
