What's the deal with bizarro? At first glace it just looks like edgy grossout horror combined with "random XD" humor, but I've seen people on /lit/ praise it as some cutting-edge new movement. Is there anything to this, or have I been memed again?

There's good bizarro fiction which is indeed cutting-edge, and there's a lot of crap bizarro fiction.
bizarro has run its course unfortunately

Bizarro is an interesting phenomenon in that it's part of the post-pomo destruction of the divide between genres, high/low lit etc. It's also a pretty good case study for the new forms of distribution and movements brought by the internet.
A lot of the novels look like juvenile crap though.

It's mostly lelsorandumxd shite by people who love Z movies. I'm sure there are one or two exceptions, but the idea of the genre is a joke and no one takes it seriously as an artistic movement or anything like that.

Its spirit lives on in Russian fantasy. Pic related is "Porry Hatter and stoned philosopher" and is actually not really a parody novel other than the cover and whatnot.

This is RED PADAVAN, a story of the Star Wars Empire being sucked back in time and coming to Earth during WWII. Darth Vader becomes apprentice to Josef Stalin.

The covers are usually better than the books 2bh.
