Noah Cicero, Sam Pink, Blake Butler, Scott McClanahan, Ana C, Jordan Castro (after he stopped trying to be Tao Lin), xTx and Tao Lin are the only worth while writers in the Alt-lit scene.

This is fact.

Ben Brooks, Tao Lin, Steve Roggenbuck and Megan Boyle are the worst.

Ben Brooks being the worst of the worst.
Stop thinking your life is Skins.

...I also am not sure if Ana C is as good as I think she is, or if I'm just hypnotised by her beauty.

I clicked on that link...congratulations for making me realize that the concept of "trap" has an equivalent in literature.

This is some serious rickrolling; you call that literature? WHAT THE FUCK? Not even hating, I really enjoy that the guy tries to be original but simulating bad twitter/youtube/facebook content is seriously a strain on my intellect...whatever...

I have a feeling this is one of those movements from which maybe one or two half-way decent authors emerge, if that, whereas the rest are complete tripe. I'd rather not waste my time separating the wheat from the chaff, especially when there's plenty of contemporary fiction and poetry that I'm nearly certain will be good.

He isn't though. A lot of the alt scene do this.
This is why it's such a terrible scene.
See for example:
http://www.sentfrommyiphone.us/

Everyone should be like Sam Pink.
I want to smoke crack with Sam Pink in an alley.
Then have him beat me up and take my money.
Sam Pink would do this I think.

There is more than one or two half way decent authors. But honestly at this stage it's mostly just shit.
