Here's your question and answer of the week from the Punknews Formspring:

Q: In what way(s) can pornogrind and goregrind be considered art forms?

A: Well, I go by the old George Carlan adage, that I am going to butcher because I don't know how to google: "Anything, if done well, can be funny."

I'm not entirely sure I agree with that statement, but I'm not sure that I disagree with it either. The point is, I think anything that is legal, that if done well, can be art.

So, if an artist truly is trying to make art, the simple act of saying it is art makes it art (as long as the artist is genuine and isn't being snarky, or something like that). But, not all art is good art.

I didn't even know that there was such a thing as "pornogrind" until you mentioned it. Apparently, pornogrind is grindcore music with only sexual themes. I'm going to lose a few punx points here, but all grindcore basically sounds the same to me. A band smashes along for 40 seconds, making a discordant racquet, some guy shrieks, and the song is over.

I feel as though grindcore has potential, but few bands really capitalize on it. Really, I think Napalm Death is one of the few bands to really explore what grindcore is, and they aren't even strictly a grindcore band.

As for porno-grindcore, I suppose grindcore about sexual stuff, could be good art, I just haven't seen it. Maybe, a good way to make pornogrind interesting is to write about sex from an unusual perspective. Perhaps the view of the condom? The view of the disapproving father? The view of the lady that works at the abortion clinic? The view of the porno director that is bored of sex?

I challenge you porno-grindcore bands- push your music to its absolute limits!

Or just listen to 2 Live Crew.
