There is a lot of overlap between these microgenres/movements, and I'd say Jeff VanderMeer is a good example of both. They're both about making you feel weird and uncomfortable, like existential dread, but slipstream is an older, broader term that arose for stories that fall somewhere between sci-fi and literary fiction.
Fascinating. What is Slipstream and what is New Weird?

Thank you for this clear explanation!
