what genre is this atrocity?

The Brokencyde track above is kinda annoying but it is damn catchy. And any group that make Limp Bizkit sound like Opeth accomplished, er, something.

ya im really not even going charming here. if theyre earnest, it's obv worst thing ever; if they're joking it's just meh

As for what genre this is, it's pop music.

And the guy at 1:17 is the best part of the music video

imo everybody who doesn't find this shit charming is a humorless old fart

ok this bit made brokeNCYDE go from 'lol' to 'not charming' territory for me
(he's screaming 'liar' at her w/ his hands around her neck there)

actually still lolling, n/m

tbf if it's a joke, then that whole thing is winky-winky anyway. still think it's stupid

the whole is-it-a-joke-or-irony-or-not thing pretty much induces this is pop music, because pop music has been riding the "are we serious?" fence just right for many decades.

This is better than "Prom Queen", fwiw

This has the potential to be pretty high up in the ILX tracks of 2009 poll

^^^^^ theess

Ok, I got through 45 seconds of that, laughing my ass off. Then I had to make it stop.

there's kind of a parallel with a lot of Limp Bizkit songs in the way a really somber downtempo bridge kinda comes out of nowhere and you're not quite sure if it makes it funnier or you're just like "oh, I guess they really do mean it"

j0hn u don't have a problem with the misogyny? cuz that is usually your issue. the part where he mimes choking her and screaming "liar" seems...um...you know.

it's kinda funny, kinda catchy, but will be nearly intolerable the 10th time i hear it. hypeman is awesome. (okay, so your job is to go "aaagh!" got it? got it. let's do this.) agree that the "liar" bit is super-creepy, kills the buzz right off, but the crime more the video than the song. lyrical misogyny is there, but watered-down, emo standard. post more stuff like this - ideally, not live.

plus it is the genre of "boy millionaires"

downgrading "10th time" to maybe halfway through the 2nd

optimism

yeah i guess i just don't care about keeping up with this type of shit anymore. called it LOL u old or whatever. it's like i'm not necessarily like OMG THE END OF MUSIC it just kinda...boring to me. but i'm sure kids need it, just like i needed 2 Live Crew or something like that...

but overall it just seems pretty wack and this idea that you need to care about it or try to figure it out so you're not old seems more pathetic than getting old IMO.

like it's just not really any good to me.

none of these dudes can fuck with brother marquis either IMO. or any 2 live song.

Ya 2 Live Crew are so much more AUTHENTIC

more funnier

I like it better than flash mobs.

nah see just better to me, that's all. like me so horny -- to me -- is more fun, catchier, better rapping and stuff. that's all.

like authenticity or whatever is just a jive idea, i get that.

I'd be more concerned about the misogyny angle if the pink shirt hypeman couldn't be pinned to the ground and get piledriven by any of the girls in the video whose necks he's holding his hands around, and also if it didn't look completely silly. That doesn't mean the issue should be ignored, but man, talk about having far more fish to fry on that issue wrt other bands/genres (like the whole alpha-male thing going on in pop music today - hat tip to JBR)

Also, brokeNCYDE are from Albuquerque, NM (ALBUCRAZY NEW MEXXXICO, if you go their myspace page) -- a nice place but hardly anything musically going on, so I kinda forgive them a lil' just for that.

Again, shit is still funny.

jailbaitcore

or just baitcore for efficiency's sake

I'm convinced brokeNCYDE is a straight up joke. It has the feel of a bunch of skaters playing some kind of grand practical joke, taking the piss out of MySpace emo bullshit. I mean, that part where they're listing off all the brands? Plus, the whole thing about "lets get drunk tonight/we don't have to fuck/baby, bring a fried along"? And then there's all kinds of absurd sutff going on in the background. Pay close attention to all the extras and what they're doing.

Then again...

fried=friend

I'd say this is approximately 57% ironic. It's hot horrible.

not horrible, obv.

what is interesting about this phenomenon (other than how wildly bad it is) is that these people took the 'CRUNK SCREAMS' of Lil Jon (etc), the auto-tuning of T-Pain, and the agonized pain of emo-pop and rolled it into one genre that is so bizarre and insane sounding that it kind of works.

just another gypsy hook
choking on that dick you rode
and it's taken his, in which i abode
where i slit the moat of my mothers throat
rot into me, rot into me
oh no

most of us can merge in the back of the seat
the last and go into my back straight gets me clean
well i heard the bird atop your head
slumming monk had cut my bed

rot into me, rot into me
nanananana nanananana.
oh woahh..
rot into me
rot into me

this is why they make AK-47s.

The dude in the first video looks like the 90s Eurodance star DJ Bobo:

Er... Why is there a guy making death metal noises in the background? I dunno about the genre of music, but whoever is behind this certainly invented an entirely new genre of dickhead, which must be applauded.

(talking about the first clip in the thread)

sonny's got traction!

Good lord, this is horrible stuff (the first clip, at least)

ha that sonny stuff seems ok to me!! bring on the bubblegum i say

brokencyde 545 up, 113 down
The act of having a penis inserted into your ear.
1. "Holy shit, my grandma died last night"
"Really? I got brokencyded last night"
"Oh man, I'm so sorry."

2. "Did you hear about Jerry?"
"He's in hospital, yeah? The old brokencyde again."
"It pierced his brain. He spent all day yesterday telling me how much of a musical genius Chad Kroeger is."

^informative

can we take a moment to contemplate the unsung influence of Hellogoodbye?

"here in your arms" is more like "with or without you" meets "digital love", and it is also 100% wonderful

Few artists talk about their spiritual beliefs, even fewer let them rule their life as openly as New York's Darwin Deez.

Deez, as well as fronting his own band, is a Baba Lover: a follower of the teachings of 20th century Indian spiritualist Meher Baba.

The preacher, who adopted silence from the age of 31 until he died at 74 in 1969, advocated the mantra 'Don't worry be happy' (later picked up by Bobby McFerrin for his 1988 hit) and denigrated the use of drugs.

"It can be a challenge for real, but I think it's a worthwhile challenge," says Deez, pondering his life choices. "It helps people to exude cheerfulness. Baba always said cheerfulness has spiritual value."
Waiter by day

Indeed, Deez, who waits tables at a vegan restaurant by day and plays gigs with his band by night, is exceptionally cheerful.

But he also finds the archetypal life of a rock 'n' roller at odds with his own clean-living beliefs.

"It's going to feel a little strange just going from one oasis of liquor to another night after night," he explains, on the subject of an upcoming US tour.

"If you want to be a musician, if you want to be a songwriter, at some point you've got to service the drunkies (sic)."

If all this makes Deez sound like a boring hippy with an allergy to fun, he's anything but.

He writes positive songs reminiscent of NYC buddies The Strokes, whilst his live gigs are explosions of joy - often involving syncopated dance interludes - like a low-budget Flaming Lips production.

"The first song I ever wrote was called Missing and it was probably when I was 11 after I got my guitar. My parents got me a guitar for my birthday," he laughs. "In fact I still play it - it was a little catchy two-cord song."
Debut single

Speaking of catchy songs, Constellations is Deez's debut single out in December - a rickety indie anthem which references Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star.

"There was a period where I would go to the open mic night every week at the sidewalk café (New York)," he elaborates.
Darwin Deez Darwin Deez and his band

"Some cool people used to do that like Regina Spektor, Adam Green (Moldy Peaches) and this guy Latch - I started hearing things I liked. I stole the idea to reference a children's song. That is how the lyrics of Constellations got started.

Now, he's on his second album Astrological Epochs And The Sands Of Time ("my first album, I never released it or performed it"). It is set for release sometime in 2010.

"I feel like the music that I've made on this record has far reaching appeal," he says.

"The next record will be a little more introspective, emotional, Radiohead-whatever."

But for the moment, in between pursuing his deep interest in philosophy, he's grabbing every opportunity that comes knocking.

"I want my songs to be famous whether I'm the one singing them or not," he states, before embarking another in-depth tangent about Animal Collective's work ethic.

"The physical world is ultimately illusion," he says colourfully. "It keeps changing."

So begins this Darwin's evolution.

hope his 'deep interest in philosophy' extends to freddy nietzsche at some point

my gorge has never risen faster

he's just being zany and crazy guys!!

I bet he's totally up for doing anything!! because he's really spontaneous!!

lol @ "Waiter by day"

just a crazy guy doing crazy things!!

don't worry be waiter

I'm going to be nice and say I liked the guitar line to that song above. Everything else makes me really angry though...

http://obscuresound.com/?p=4269

Quick swipes of a guitar and a drum machine are all Darwin really needs to ignite his presence, which alone is more entertaining than the masses that attempt a similar rock-electro fusion.

That video fills out at least six squares on the hipster bingo card.

this is a delicately unfolding four-part succession of shit that makes me irrationally angry

I hope his album is called radiohead-whatever

Dude's record is actually really great and feels v. natural and effortless, in no way an atrocity. But yeah, that interview/hair/etc. and I can understand

lol

xp!

These bands all make the worst videos I've ever seen.

that falsetto voice-crack thing in the chorus is painful

"Radiohead-whatever" totally narrows things down.

actually I think I'm gonna pin this one entirely on the writer. I mean, the first goddamn sentence of the thing is

Few artists talk about their spiritual beliefs

few artists like to run their mouths off about dumb hippie bullshit, but fortunately for you we dug one up

"I love taking carriage rides through central park," Tom stated, before embarking another in-depth tangent about Animal Collective's work ethic.

really want to make a good tom swifty outta that but all I can really come up w/ are ones about noah or ones like the one above and they don't really make me happy

Whateverhead's "OK Whatever"

thank you wikipedia

"I think I'm a homosexual", Tom said, half in earnest.
"I am the bone lord," Tom proclaimed skulkingly.

A Darwin Deez song was playing in the store I was in yesterday. I didn't like it, and was relieved when it ended.
