Let's hear it for the bands that Melody Maker decided were part of a dodgy "movement" that they christened Arsequake.
For some reason, as movements go, it's totally neglected. Everyone's too busy shoegazing. I can remember that World Domination Enterprises got roped in, along with the Buttholes. But who else was in there? Remind me please, as my memory is failing. |

Never heard of it.
But I have never heard of Shoegaze until recently either. In the 90's , MBV and Ride were labeled "noisy-pop". |

My googling has eventually yielded something:

Man , sometimes it takes years for a label to become "official".
( that means more official than the previously official label ) |

Yeah, pretty much so, T&B, but the emphasis on more bass-heavy groups.

I kind of think of pigfuck being a proto-grunge thing, and arsequake as being less of a rock thing and more a continuation of post-punk. Although I guess that Butthole Surfers' position as being the most quaking of arsequakers would go contrary to that.
Possibly arsequake was by drug users and pigfuck by drinkers? |

arsequake, wasn't that the stud brothers who came up with the term. Was popular for about a year - '88 ish, when Blast First was in its pomp?
How about adding young gods to the list. |
