They know it's total cheese, and this is at least 30 years old.Right, it doesn't seem any worse than a lot of silly stuff from that era. Any Amanda Palmer video out-cringes it by 100x easily.

Alien Sex Fiend is like Chrome if they were half-assed and unintentionally funny. They've got all the nuance of a cheap haunted house attraction cobbled together at the last minute inside a soon-to-be-condemed middle school gymnasium.Nik Fiend is the Michael Jordan of shambly goth music.

Yeah, I played in an Alice Cooper cover band a few times with some of the Replacements guys, one Halloween was with Morticia. Matt the drummer stayed true to his style and still plays gothy/metally stuff.

^ That's just what average music sounds like at the moment. That is the sound of "now". Ten years from "now", a new generation of kids will hate this because it sounds so millennial.
