A new dawn in terror- Brokencyde are surpassed by Attack Attack!'s "Stick Stickly" and the emergence of CRABCORE

Yeah I meant ambitious in their stacking up as much crap they can find and pulling off a big turd of nothingness. Ambition doesn't really equate to originality or boundary pushing in my mind... it has more to do with biting off more than you can chew, and then chewing it.

true, the question is when and what to combine, to what end, etc.

character may have something to do with it too, the personality/type reflected/spoken to in the form. this is very much 'being awful to make awful music to be awful to'

have a v hard time seeing/hearing anything wrong with that, fucking awesome

...except the lyrics, holy shit, children are foul things

emil.y, how did you come across this? This thread & the Brokencyde thread are my main points of contact w/the post-crab 'nuum, but I'm sure there's rich veins of Skrillexicore being mined atm that I'm oblivious to.

Brostep crabcore?!?!

crabstep

actually I haven't heard the Skrillex/Korn record at all, is there a chance this is just a new iteration of kornstep?

the post-crab 'nuum

dying.

no matter how shit something is you can always trust ilx to find contrary fuckers to defend it.

That letter is amazing

I mean, I understand that illiteracy is a real thing, but I am very seldom faced with it.

Some are not so bold as to just go right out and show their idiocy.

omg I forgot about the dancepop/autotune section of "Stick Stickly"

I cried at letter

"garbled new age logic" is something I deeply associate with my inlaws

So...he quit the band cuz everyone around him swore and that made him think he was gay?

Not sure that tearing apart, line by line, an illiterate guy talking about being clinically depressed is a particularly good look on that website's part, tbh.

and all this time I thought Stick Stickly was some brilliant Tim & Eric style parody, this is great
(seriously though I hate websites that try to add "humorous commentary" to something that's already funny when all they can write is "uhhh...what?" and "nice grammar, lol")

That guy's not illiterate, just very bad at writing.

(seriously though I hate websites that try to add "humorous commentary" to something that's already funny when all they can write is "uhhh...what?" and "nice grammar, lol")

otm

yeah, that was horrible

the commentary is indeed more hateful and irksome than anything that Attack Attack guy wrote. Sure he can't write for toffee, but the journo's writing and overall "HAR HAR HAR LOOK AT THIS GUY, HE CAN'T EVEN PUT A SENTENCE TOGETHER WHAT A MORAN" is about as entertaining as a rusty nail. Considering one is the bass player in a shit post-emo band and the other tries to pass himself off as a writer, I'm struggling to work out who comes off worst.

on the same level as Oatmeal guy's response to the Gawker article, though at least in that situation both participants can take care of themselves rather than being "lol crabcore guy no write good".

It's metalsucks.net, you don't exactly read it for the sterling editorial tone

excellent, thanks

loooool this was great

also I am listening to "Stick Stickly" again and it's actually not bad (still hilarious but not terrible)

Hey, did anyone hear about the time David Cameron met Crunk Pig?

Phew.

I will forever love this sentence:

Around 2006, then-high-schooler Johnny Franck was obsessed with local buttrock band Ambiance.

R U ready to CRAB ANEW?
