But who ****ing cares? It's almost fifty years after the fact. It's the genre name, and I'm sure it was tongue-in-cheek and not at all meant to be demeaning. It's certainly a funny name, and that's really way more important than anything else.

Besides, Nea isn't here to make legitimate points. He hasn't been notable on this site since he trolled JGuy out of this thread and now he's trying to recapture old glories. Which is pretty sad.
