Crazy

There is a term that goes alongside this which really captures the essence of what I am pursuing with this idea, but is crass, so I am hesitant to include it, but it really is helpful in this case.

The term is bat **** crazy.

I’m fascinated by that kind of art, but it is hard to pull of.

It most often appears in goofy B movies and similar media.

However, when it is done well and appears in a quality production, it’s usually instantly classic.

While you can probably have this kind of crazy without manic energy, usually manic energy needs at least a hint of this kind of crazy to be manic.
