Something they look back on fondly as adults. As a broad social phenomenon, Sex Coven worries parents, but is, for most teens, a passing fad. The track inspires deep reactions in listeners they take up Coven Crawls, night walks with closed eyes and headphones blaring they have sex, a lot of it they worry their parents. Sex Coven is not a song exactly it’s a musically effective tone in a register that people over 30 can’t hear in all its depth.
Sex Coven is a snippet of fictional documentary, a look back on a ’90s cultural event, a single track spread at first slowly and then like lightning across a file sharing network-definitely not Napster-something that only teens can only understand. This year we’ll see comics from Eleanor Davis, Kelly Kwang, Richie Pope, and Rebecca Sugar. The Eleanor Davis issue, Frontier #11: BDSM, dropped in February and was reviewed here. The comic is issue #7 of Youth In Decline’s Frontier, a series of short, standalone comics by some of the best “indie” cartoonists currently working. So, between that information and the title of this piece, you can probably tell that I like it. I wrote several blurbs for their The 100 Best Comics of the First Half of the 2010s, including one on Jillian Tamaki’s Sex Coven. Late last year the Loser City crew invited me to participate in making a giant list of comics that don’t suck.
