flol rectal-prolapse-core did too.

 

I'm so grateful.

 

They all made it. This is the qualification round. I did my best to list every single idea suggested in the nominations. The top 64 topics will make it into the next round.

I know I know, it was only included because someone I mentioned it.

 

I just thought the idea of someone getting fist fucked so hard that their butthole turns inside out into a "pink sock" (rectal prolapse) and then that being turned into hardcore music was pretty IDM, especially given that one interview with V-snares where the interviewer said he has a big following in the gay community.

 

Well... it all seemed logical in my lsd twisted mind.
