I am really in to this kind of art style:

It heavily features lines and dots to create textures and shading. Is there a specific name for that kind of style? The image below is a really good example of what I am talking about, note the dots around the edges.
You should look into underground comix (yes, with an x). It's a bit strange that they'd name-check Beavis and Butthead or reference 90s comics, when there's a clear influence from an older print tradition.
R. Crumb is the obviously place to start. Though there's a lot of variety in the genre, the commonality tends to a less polished adaptation of older pen and ink techniques (e.g., stippling, cross-hatching), even when working in other media, and a fascination with grotesque forms while documenting real life.
