I think you're right about IP fandom being more central than subculture identity! If the lines between genres as previously disparate as shoegaze and nu-metal are blurry enough for Deftones to slide from one side to the other, clearly there must be other dividing lines worth fighting over instead (marvel vs A24? naruto vs one piece?)
It's an interesting idea. I have not seen Megalopolis, and I only have a vague idea of what it is "all about," but some things I have read about it make it out to be—again, I really have no clue—a flawed attempt at synthesizing certain Marvel-style production moves with more traditional cinematic elements... I probably need to watch it
