This is fascinating, no doubt. The younger generation's insatiable quest for energy (and extremity) now has a soundtrack.

The most instantly recognizable signifier of a band within the crabcore oeuvre is the presence of an Arch Cancerped (literally translated; "chief crabwalker"). The Arch Cancerped (or ACP) is an individual member of the band whose duty it is to set the speed, intensity, and depth of the crabwalk in a given piece of music. Much like the conductor of a symphony orchestra. Typically the ACP wears a black t-shirt and has a dyed-black sideways haircut.

Other moves available to crabcore players include:
* The "Richardson Richardson" * "Krinking" * The "Beaver Bounce" * The "Krunkle Kick" * The "Shrimp & White Wine" * The "Dirty Hamper" * The "Pestal Press"
Another somewhat controversial move has gained a foothold in crabcore circles recently, which sees the player simply standing in one spot and running in place. No one understands this move. No one. Its sheer absurdity has kept it from getting an official name. The fact that the running-in-place move appeared at the same time as the crabwalk, and no-one involved in the scene has had time to discuss this move speaks volumes for the influential nature of the crabwalk. The running in place move usually is reserved to the screamer of the band, that is until the surprise techno break down. Upon this interlude all band members may participate in a crabcore run in place marathon.

The discussion at Wikipedia over the Crabcore page is a must read:

From that page:
(NOTE: This is the page for the Australian DJ group, but the name is very similar to two other groups. For the South Wales UK hardcore band, the correct tag is Attack! Attack!. For the Columbus, OH United States all-ages band, the correct tag is Attack Attack!)
