Absense

Is there such a thing as depressing nonsense writing? Nonsense exists as a type of genre, especially when it comes to poetry, but it always seems inextricably linked with comedy. Why is there not nonsense which expresses the absurd, confusing and deeply distressing nature of life? It seems the perfect genre. Existence, like nonsense, often seems meaningless.

I think that I have accidentally made a new genre. The previous post, possibly, was the first ever example of it. Now to think of a name for this style of work. Absense works quite well, I think. Or at least it does for a word geek like myself.
