I think Erthona's term "performance poetry" is apt.
The term 'slam' and the real-time contest aspect
reward crowd-pleasing histrionics.
But I have seen excellent performances that thrilled me.
It's no different than any other form of poetry: 99.99%
of it is shite and the laws of statistics guarantee that
in any cursory examination it will seem like 100%.
