That's just the tip of the iceberg, I can go on forever. These bands are 'abstract' in the same way Family Guy is 'astract'. A lot of the above is what E-Mallgoth metal heads like to namedrop to seem eclectic. They like these groups because they can relate to the LOL CRAZY AND EXTREEMMMMMM XD!!!! nature of the music. Therefore these groups are advanced mall goth music.

Typical Mallgoth Last.fm page. Mallgoths also seem to embrace the "comedic" duo Tim and Eric for their XD SO RANDUM nature. A lot of US mall goths are angsty teenagers who wear ridiculous clothing and are fans of this because they can relate it to the quirky, extreme lifestyles they wish they led.

True experimental music pushes the boundaries tastefully and subtly, as if it is something natural. It take elements of older music fusing them into a completely new and foreign style of music that most people can't really put a finger on.

Genre hopping and funny lyrics/gibberish hasn't been experimental for almost 100 years now. I do like some genre fusions when they're tastefully done. For example John Zorn's Masada is OK before he does his ridiculous pointless squawking. Zorn has some good music but he mostly makes directionless free improv and gimmick laden compositions. His gimmick-free Jewish Worship songs for aging New Yorkers are not bad.

Mall goths only like to namedrop free jazz with elements that they can relate to from their other preferred styles of music. That's why they prefer something noisy and completely structureless artists such as Borbetomagus, Sun Ra or Peter Brotzmann over something that is 'out there' but still firmly rooted in traditional playing like Egberto Gismonti or Marilyn Crispell. A lot of stuff music nerds ironically listened to in the 90s which is now taken seriously by teenage metalfags who consider it actual avant garde music.

Most of these artists just work with a cut & paste songwriting style or go right for the extreme shock factor. They all use cheap attempts at humor as a compositional vice. Very childish and mall gothish approach to composition or improvisation. It's stupid music for stupid people.

ahhh what do you know.i hate it when people talk about music intellectually.stupid music for stupid people? your rmarks are pointless fuckin drivel.
as for me, i like a quarter of the bands on your list and dislike the other half.

My thoughts exactly.

Unless he dislikes the half of another quarter. With this guy's math who knows?

IMO, the term itself "Mallgoth" brings bands like AFI and My Chemical Romance to mind.

Precisely. He's confusing the term 'mallgoth' with 'pretentious psuedo intellectual wankers', both equally abhorant for similar reasons based on their ocupancy of opposite ends of the so-called "brow-scale".

92% of the mentioned bands are unknown to most people. The fact that OP knows these bands, proves that he in fact likes/used to like them.
It also proves that he is overweight.
