what genre is this atrocity?

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.

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.

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"

Screamo crunk: A cultural primer

screamo crunk more like creamo spunk amirite

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

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.

Ya 2 Live Crew are so much more AUTHENTIC

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)

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

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?

get crunk >>> freaxx

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

"unsung"? We should have half the luck.

Haha, I thought about starting a Brokencyde WTF thread when I stumbled on this a while back:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noRRQ8o3tdA

Glad someone else did. I think.

These guys seem so bereft of charm or charisma. people are making videos who don't have interesting personalities and seem shy and unprepared on camera. I hope the youtube generation doesn't define and generate current artists via viral videos, although I guess that's what is happening.

That 2 Drunk 2 Drive video reminds me of taking the joke boy band vocal break in d12's My Band and turning it into an entire song and then making it date rape creepy.

their album is coming out soon

crunkcore is an idea whose time has come

they're playing the warped tour too

If you think there won't be 30 bands that sound like them by the end of the year you're crazy

ALBUCRAZY

word

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.

bring on the st3ve g0ldb3rg jokes

"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."

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!

don't worry be waiter

rofl

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.
