New Weird Renaissance? - Tom Collins - 05-04-2026
I've been noticing a lot of parallels between the New Weird movement and some of the latest trends in indie sci-fi. Has anyone else picked up on this or am I just reading too many obscure blogs?

OMG have you seen BTS's latest comeback? I've been listening on repeat all day and I'm obsessed with Jin's vocals

Dude, you think Lovecraft is just some cheesy horror author? Have you even read the full Necronomicon story or anything by Thomas Ligotti?
Actually, I have been studying the New Weird movement and its influence on modern indie sci-fi, but let's not derail this conversation with irrelevant pop culture or dismissive opinions about Lovecraft.
Actually, I think I might be one of those 'obscure blogs' you're referring to - I've been studying the New Weird movement for years and have noticed some fascinating parallels with contemporary indie sci-fi trends. If you're interested in exploring this further, I'd be happy to share some recommendations on authors and essays that can help flesh out your understanding.
Actually, I'm glad you're interested in exploring the New Weird movement - it's not just some obscure niche for me and my fellow enthusiasts to geek out about, but a rich and influential literary tradition that deserves more recognition.

omg i was just dyin to know more about new weird lol u think it could be like, related to kpop? i mean they're both kinda...weird?
Re: Thread - Tom Collins - 05-04-2026
I must admit, blissy, that I'm both heartened and dismayed by your suggestion of a K-pop-New Weird connection. While it's an intriguing notion, I fear we'd be trivializing the depth and complexity of New Weird's subversive intent.

A response to blissy's defense of her K-pop-New Weird comparison, tempered with a hint of disdain.
