Disturbed

One of the more respected heavy metal bands to be lumped in with nu metal but they had more Industrial Metal and Thrash Metal ties than their counterparts in the 2000s , in the 1996 they were known as Brawl. One of the member's siblings were in an early incarnation of female fronted Industrial Metal act Grigori 3 where they're rooted in thrash and a wide range of influences. I heard them when Brawl was practicing as their sound back them was much faster Pantera without the electronics. David Draiman's distinct vocal echoing that of a chimpanzee-like bark on Down with the Sickness just was the tip of their dark iceberg. They're a spiritual successor to Circle of Dust like Fashion Bomb with their second album, Circle of Dust with their return was showing he's darker than Fear Factory's 1995 masterpiece.

Disturbed is one of Chicago metal's success stories along with Ministry and Fashion Bomb (the latter has a track on their second album that has a solo rivaling Iron Maiden's Wasting Love from Fear of the Dark. They're noted for infusing technical metal into Industrial Metal.)

writerscafe

WritersCafe.org is a website which is the myspace for writers as it has a wide array of writers ranging from horror and urban fantasy to other forms; the demographic is usually mid-to-late teens but sometimes you see a few who appeared in their late 20s into 50s. It's noted for bringing family_saga and metafiction into the public eye. Recently the expose of Kealan Patrick Burke appeared as it was pulled from Wattpad because one of the subjects were not pleased -- the piece in question is called "Boycotting Truth."

WritersCafe is a curiosity in some ways when you see writers who emerge from there. Most noted was introduced in an anthology where the editor's name is in the title designed for the editor's own short story that was published in the UK as the title of the story that emerged from WritersCafe is titled "Scarlet Frost." The editor of that anthology is responsible for The Cabbie Homicide.

marysues

A LiveJournal community that riffs on fanfiction found on fanfiction.net that the characters in the fandom are a Mary Sue or Gary Stu as some blogtroll communities borrowed the terminology to troll my own outings. Noted community where it outlived it's maintainer. The title of the community is known as Bastion of Questionable Sanity as the last posting of it was in 2013 and riffing on The Hunger Games. Turned out the twat who zeroed in on The Fandom Writer is one of the fucking maintainers of the blogtroll magnet. The community is noted for having sister communities as they pat those who lift copyrighted established properties on the back; as I am sure if Brian Lumley sees a community like this he'd be royally pissed.

The LiveJournal Community known as MarySues in 2004, bit off more than they can chew when they zeroed in on two originals and trying to put them in fanfiction fandoms; The Fandom Writer was noted for torquing off the entire spectrum that's known as slash and femmeslash ala / fiction. They tried to put it in Jack T. Chick fanfiction though the story references a tract in the story as the main character drew an influence from the horror tropes that Chick tried too hard to invoke though not a genre savvy.

They were riffing on those who emerged in the genre fandom on Fanfiction.net as some became noticed in small press circles as IDW Publishing produced an authorized anthology under the supervision of the original creators and 20th Century Fox. The editor was noted to be a regular in the Web of Horror yahoogroup in the era of 2002 up to the folding of the group.

Holy Paint Chip Eater

A Good Lil Christian that is revealed to be a vile monster and makes up claims about sic'ing gumshoes on investigative journalists because they were revealed to be a public figure on Linkedin. Their form of Christianity stems from the Blab-it-n-Grab-it theology. See McChurch or drinkthekoolaid (the butt of that second crack would pull the damned race card over that crack. )

Sherri Parker on twitter befriended the plagiarist enabler The Egoless Writer's composer as I revealed in truth they're both a Holy Paint Chip Eater. A Holy Paint Chip Eater is one that shits on scientific ideas and philosophical thought, they'd might have only one book in the house or on their pinterest "Their Books Worth Reading" is empty and have repeated memes of Kermit drinking Lipton Tea as she claims I am a "wus" when the goblin failed to realize I busted Rachel Dolezal finding her linkedin account.

Gothic Horror

A genre of horror that's hands down one of the oldest as it developed in England by an overly dramatic homo named Horace Walpole as the style in America was developed by writers who were historians, school teachers and literary critics in the 19th Century. The American approach was developed by Washington Irving with The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow as the form took on different personalities. In the mid-1990s the writer who eventually wrote The Cabbie Homicide combined double homicide language, philosophical insight and real life horrors such as gang violence, church burning and addressing legalism in the church in a very dark way.

The Cabbie Homicide introduced Gothic Horror into narrative journalism which came out in a way where it was according to "Mohs Scale of Lyrical Hardness" would be a ten. The 20th century approach -- stems from William Hope Hodgson, Bram Stoker with his last novel and short story output, H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and others. The House of Pain E-zine shown other examples as Temple of Dagon saw the Cthulhu Now timeline as the new Cthulhu Mythos playground named for the Cabbie Homicide's authors last name. Where it plays up in real cities and real neighborhoods, as it interweaves with the real histories of the area as well.

Edgar Allan Poe's The Telltale Heart gave Gothic Horror a new personality and threw an entirely new approach to the style as he introduced this as a short form. A Cemetery Dream introduced in 2000 had an ultra-violent, extremely gore soaked approach ala Se7en meets Dreams in the Witch House. The Cabbie Homicide when introduced in the LiveJournal Goth Community they thought it was a work of fiction but when he mentioned how the convicted murderer was in his 7th grade homeroom, some friends were going, "That's really fucked up, and especially fucked up that you knew him."

Black Comedy

(No I am not talking comedy by african-american comics) this kind of comedy is born from taboos and subject matter that crosses the line twice. See New York Post taunt that freight-trained Jared Fogle as social justice warriors and snowflakes along with NoBama got pissed when twitter were hashtagging Five Dollar Footlong as implying it's not exactly a sandwich. This kind of humor is the type that can invoke a fist fight when taunted by bullies as you can imply the jokes about genetic attraction, as in hindsight with a recent article showing up it's a bit 'grosser than gross' in hindsight. I employed this kind of humor when engaging Eric Hovind on Creation Science Evangelism back in 2014 where I made a grisly one implying that the megalodon shark was in the water with Noah's Floating Zoo and one of the animals fell in the water when the fin was breaking the surface of the water. Or you can also use the film Carnosaur to illustrate human-dinosaur co-existence really looks like as I coined this "The Corman Retort."

The author of Gulliver's Travels is one of the your examples of black comedy with the piece "A Modest Proposal" as he might had inspired Edgar Allan Poe with his satire output, Holden's Counterpart has tons of black comedy examples as the self-depreciation using the Italian slurs. The Fandom Writer was also my first approach with grim humor with dark horror elements.
