Taylor Swift gets "Honorary Doom" award by Doomcore Records!

A spokesperson by Doomcore Records had the following to say regarding this surprising decision:

Doomcore Techno folks usually hate the overground, the mainstream, pop music, so this decision might rub a lot of people the wrong way.
But, if you look at Taylor, the music she does now...
It's songs about depression, self-harm, s*icide, loathing humans, the world, everything.
It's vengeance, revenge, spite, scorn... wishing destruction on everyone that wronged you... wishing destruction on everything you see.
It's about descending into a void, chaos, an infernal vortex of thoughts and emotions, thought and desires.
It's about lust, sinfulness, pr*miscuity, erasing any trace that is left of "christian family ideology"...

It's doom and gloom hidden behind a saccharine-acerbic voice, delivered by the form and appearance of an angel... an angel of death and darkness.

if that is not exciting for a follower of doomcore techno, then what is?

She comes off as a witch, banshee, monster, in her videos.
she juggles with snakes, balances drugs on her tongue, gets chained up as a lust-slave in a sleazy way, tortured, electro-shocked, executed, and then gets her revenge and wrecks it all.

Very disturbing things!

her sound is not her poppy stuff from 1989 anymore... it feels more like a left-field and "left-wing" neofolk / industrial crossover with more then one trace of darkwave.

she talks about a "torture department" in her latest title... i mean, that's doomed stuff right there!

she does dark, sick music...

the only "fault" is she is not using techno beats... yet... but we at Doomcore Records can appreciate other styles and genres, too!

well, she is branded as a teen idol by the media, she is mainstream, she is not really underground...

but even from the viewpoint of the true cultural underground rats... should we blame her for that?

just an example: do you like Baudelaire? les fleurs du mal... i guess most people who are into doomcore techno appreciate Baudelaire.

but he is not very "underground" at all, isn't he? mentioned in a lot of movies, boring middle-aged teachers talk about him fondly... art snob hipsters love him.
yet this doesn't take Baudelaire's gloomy appeal away for us, does it?

in his introduction, Baudelaire dedicates his poems to young men and women who are enlightened by the darker, more disconcerting and horrific sides of existence...
and if taylor swift does a similar thing... giving the young generation of today an entry-level experience of doom and decay and scorn and blasphemy... well... then this is all the better for us!
