Isn't trying to define weird, just weird?

A new genre is developing that takes many aspects from that, but also blends in classic horror, science fiction, fantasy, and literature elements.
Those topics you mention you could write about in a scholarly way, as straight fiction, thriller, horror, etc. For your work to be labeled "weird", it would need elements of mythos, fantasy,and/or horror blended in.
Like me, I am a weird/bizarre author because i love writing about taboo topics like necrophilia, cannibalism, orgies, etc... =P
