I think this level was the tipping point for Manix/Lazerblitz style where public perception and interest would start to decline for this style. I think it makes sense because this was like the most concentrated Manix/Lazerblitz stuff I've ever seen, and it is impossible to follow. There's just too much going on, and I think it was this sentiment that caused the decline in interest for the Manix/Lazerblitz style.

Think about it- Manix, BIANOX, and Parallax folded into design style, LazerBlitz, Edicts, and Elanox are gone, Platnuu, Xyriak, and Helpegasus are doing more tech/representational work, WHErwin is doing his own thing, etc. This is like the last hurrah for this style, after this people would start to jump ship to greener pastures. It's quite the phenomenon, as the only other comparable event like this was the massive core exodus from creators like durianhead and pocke. Still, quite a phenomenon how creators will move between styles and subcommunities over time.
