The King of Alt-Porn, Eon McKai, gets profiled by the LA Times in "Generation XXX." McKai, who is 26 and named himself for Ian MacKaye, makes porn movies for the heavily tattooed and pierced set, including "Neu Wave Hookers" and "Art School Sluts." He admires the films of Todd Solondz, doesn't like to shoot his films in Porn Valley, and thinks of his own porno-making methodology as Warholian.

Of course, it had to happen. Be it clothes, music, television or disposable razors (dig the new Schick Quattro ads in Rolling StoneĀ—four blades of shaving power!), when you slap "alt" on a product, it sells. Now discerning hipsters have their very own brand of porn, made by one of their own.

Cynical smut fans may sniff at the idea. After all, sex is sex, whether the participants are covered with modern-primitive body accouterments or just plain old skin.

McKai is having none of it. He sees a massive stylistic, even spiritual, difference between the standard Porn Valley releases and what he creates. "It's coming from a different voice," he says. "Everything I do when I'm doing my stuff, I try and put my voice in there as much as possible so people know someone like them is making porn now. Somebody you would hang out with, who goes to the same shows as you do, who likes the same music as you do, is now making an adult movie. And that, I think, is the attraction."

There are a couple of other differences too:

"Fake breasts." He views physical integrity the way soda enthusiasts viewed original Coke. "I just always had a strong feeling about the fake breast thing," McKai says. "I wanted to shoot a natural breast and see if we could actually make money."

Eon_McKai is also an SG member.

I think his take on fake breasts is interesting, however, considering that one could look at it like just another body mod, like the tattoos and piercings that he loves to shoot so much. I understand the "scientific" aspect of trying to see if real breasts could sell videos, but I'm not sure how well it jives with the rest of his ethos.

I'm not sure how well the word "jives" jibes with the rest of your sentence.

He has done decently, Though he doesn't need a title. If he can reinspire the genre then yay for him.

When I read the interview with him on this site a while back I had to check out Art School Sluts. And indeed, it wound up being the first porn movie I've actually watched all the way through (though not all in one sitting) instead of simply skipping around for the good bits. It was a nice change from the usual look and feel of porn and had some really hot bits. I haven't been as impressed with the Kill Girl Kill series, though.

the idea of a movie called 'art school sluts' intrigues me.

Now I am going to have to buy it and watch it.

Whatever. When I hear someone wax poetic about themselves or the importance of what they do for a living I dismiss them as a pretentious twat.

As much as I hate the 'alt porn' tag, I think its great that McKai and a handful of others are at least trying to do something interesting with porn. Most of porn is shit these days, so it needs some kind of innovation. And there's nothing wrong with self-promotion if the guy has at least a semi-alternative viewpoint.
Why not actually read what he has to say and check out what he's doing before labelling him a pretentious twat, you dismissive twat.
