FWIW I challenged the reasoning behind tucking the WH thread into the house forum, which I never visit cuz house and me don't mix so good.

Some of the stuff wasn't too bad, but more like lo-fi electronic goth?

Maybe to our ears, but a lot of this stuff has way fewer connections to goth than hip hop, albeit hip hop from arty white kids. The lo-fi seems like an artifact from the Texas 'chopped and screwed' (plus ppl using shitty laptop mics) more than anything. There's also a lot of soundtrack influence, stuff like Italian horror films and Twin Peaks.

why isnt wizard techno a thing tho

If there's any lesson from Witch House, it's "if you build it they will come." Go on. Make it happen.

And if it's any consolation, one of the other early names for this 'scene' was Rapegaze.

EDIT:

Wizard Techno on YouTube, 2008

1) DRAG

Last on our list is the very recently created genre drag, also known as witch house and several other names. It is hotly debated whether this genre is a legitimate label or a giant joke played on music review website Pitchfork and other media. For lack of a better term though, it will be named drag for the rest of this entry, as some of the music the term references is very stylistically different from any other genre. Drag is largely a blend of house music, hip-hop, industrial, dark ambient, and noise music, as well as some other genres, often being played in the formulaic, indifferent style of shoe gaze music. It often also incorporates the occult in some form into its songs, taking influence from many early goth bands. Travis Egedy, better known as the electronic artist Pictureplane, invented this term with friends in 2009, supposedly as a joke, to describe the recent wave of house music focusing on dark, supernatural subjects. When Pitchfork featured the genre in an article it took off, and despite being described as a gimmick by many it is still being used to describe †††, which is a side project of Chico Moreno, the lead singer of Deftones, Shaun Lopez, the guitarist of the band Far, and Scott Chuck. Whatever it may be, a joke or a real genre, drag as it is described is still very interesting to listen to, and may actually take off in the future as parts of it are somewhat mainstream.

OK, so, like, it's not called Witch House cause then it might be a joke. Calling it something else and broadening it to include side projects of pseudo rock stars will makez it real doe.
