Neo-Decadence

Neo-Decadence is a contemporary artistic movement, primarily focused on literature, but which embraces other modes of creative activity. Though influenced by the aesthetic ideology of the Decadent movement, it might be seen as much as a reaction against other trends in contemporary literature as a resurrection of the original movement. In general, Neo-Decadence has more in common with avant-garde literary movements (Symbolism, Decadence and Futurism) than with genre fiction categories such as speculative fiction or horror, with which it is often compared.^[1][2]
