we need a new genre for stuff like homestuck, 17776, bill wurtz, car boys ect that’s just “internet”

euumm, “mixed media webcomics” ? something like that

“Cosmic Comedy”, a genre that I think would also encompass welcome to night vale

My high school had a class about shit like this, called “experimental literature” which I think is pretty encompassing

I like the experimental part, hmm. maybe “experimental web media”?

Ok, so I see people here confusing two things:

>Adventure webcomics, a format that fits Homestuck, Ruby Quest, Awful Hospital, Neokosmos, and a lot of other stuff. It arguably fits 17776 as well, though it’s a bit more infinite canvas-y than usual.

>This kind of “Internet” genre centered around the nature of “internet culture” and fandon, often using a lot of overly compressed images and stuff like that. These are hard to categorize but are certainly independent of genre.
