'''The Pop Culture Suicides''' (TPCS) was formed in Chicago in 2005 by former [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]] guitarist [[Zim Zum]], The Pop Culture Suicides mix multiple styles and tend to avoid the use of typical song structures. Zim Zum, himself composes all music, lyrics, and plays all instruments on the band's recordings.

'''The Pop Culture Suicides''' was formed in 2005.  
  
The Pop Culture Suicides made their debut by releasing four songs ("To Have Lived and Died in the 21st Century", "The Art of the Bruise", "The Disillusioned Revolution" and "Whatever the Future Holds") through the band's official MySpace profile and have since released many more. In this time, the band toured extensively in Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan and often debuted songs live. These performances are intricate with use props like; banners, wreaths, and signage.

As an hour and 45 minute + non stop live opus, [[http://www.mansonwiki.com/wiki/The_Pop_Culture_Suicides The Pop Culture Suicides]] is Zim Zum's sonic brainchild and a musical manifesto like no other. Zim Zum has established himself as a musician/songwriter who clearly has his eyes on the future and spends no time trying to keep pace with the trends of the present.
  
In 2009 the band entered the studio to begin recording material for upcoming releases. This material is expected to be released in the form of four EPs, the first two of which will be titled "Anti Social Pep Rally" and "Crash Cart Revival". As a teaser "For What it's Worth", a Buffalo Springfield cover, was released for free as a high quality digital download.

To describe The Pop Culture Suicides sound is as futile as only feeling one emotion your whole life. To truly come to an understanding of who you are is to embrace everything you love and hate about yourself. Traditional music formats are all but non-existent as the songs play out like movies, taking you through the sonic storyline, always leaving you wondering what is just around the corner and ultimately bringing a sense of resolve in whatever the ending may or may not be. This Chicago quintet is the product of extreme isolation and experimentation. Closing off the outside world in an effort to cleanse the incessant barrage of a massively over commercialized society while exploring and defining exactly who they are and what place they have in this world.  
  
The live band line-up for The Pop Culture Suicides seems to constantly change, as such it's not known who is currently in the live band.
+
Flirting with elements of Rock Opera, Orchestral pieces and Performance Art, The Pop Culture Suicides play by a completely unique and individualistic set of rules, if any at all. Accepting and presenting nothing less than music as art and approaching each moment is if it were the last, they are loud and thunderous, quiet and introverted, fearless, optimistic and unapologetic all at once.

This band is independent in thought and action from the floor up, taking their music straight to the legions of dedicated fans (self proclaimed Suicide Squads) via live shows that blur the line between performance art and rock opera known as "Anti-Social Pep Rally's", releasing music within days of recording it and bringing about an underground status and cult like buzz not seen from a band in a long, long time.
