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

been posted on the brokencyde thread, but hey

brokencyde album comes out today!

we've even got attack attack animated gifs on brokencyde thread

what genre is this atrocity?

yeah these dudes are all over the fuckin place and look like they're talking a dump. this song is like 10 songs randomly pasted together.

but gotta say the sludgy breakdown at 1:15 is pretty boss.

haha, I remember stick stickley

ah shit. i did do a search. obviously did it wrong, sorry folks

i don't hate this!

i like the dance action at the end.

i actually prefer ADD-core to nu-metal, i think.

Oh my god, the breakdown at 2:48 is so fucking hilariously bad and amazing.

joe's crab shack actually rules. the nashville one anyway.

To be fair regarding all that running in place idiocy, it just reminds me of the bit in the MC5 documentary with the film clips of them doing synchronized high kicks on stage at the height of their White Pantheresque days.

yeah they remind me of the mc5 too

this song has everything

and nothing, it's pretty zen in a way

the sound of one band crabbing

young screamo types in making music unpalatable to ILXors shockah

These guys have singlehandedly ruined headbanging.

it's more morris dancing than headbanging TBF

they've certainly ruined morris dancing for me

I'm definitely gonna feel weird the next time I crabdance

Ohmygod --- the choreography!!!!

NOW THEY HAVE RUINED CHOREOGRAPHY WHERE WILL THEY STOP

I can't imagine how anyone -- young or old -- wouldn't find this insanely silly.

why can't we return to the simple sanity of coheed and cambria

btw this sounds exactly like every other screamo band that's around right now, nothing new to see here. search other awful bands as underoath, the devil wears prada, etc

the devil wears chowda

wait, underoath and the devil wears prada include hi-nrg synth moves in their songs too? maybe i should give those bands another chance.

These guys sound nothing like Underoath (not that I'm mounting a defense of either, btw) and only a little like Devil Wears Prada. Actually I think these goofs make TDWP look like frickin' Coalesce by comparison.

Is that a compliment?

I was thinking this song had everything too, but now I realize it doesn't have any rapping. FROWNY EMOTICON.

Its a backhanded compliment to The Devil Wears Prada for not sucking THIS bad.

this song is the bomb

but is it the bomb-diggity

yes

musically the first minute isn't so bad, overused autotune effect aside.

the eurodance breakdown at the end is hilarious

Can I simultaneously proclaim it awesome, and never really watch it again?

haha my feelings exactly

Yes, it needs rapping.

Posting this from my abandoned house wearing my black v-neck shirt

I like how the girl in the white dress is covering her ears!

yeah that and the vocoder sound were the most wtf for me

this is basically the pre-nirvana moment for metalcore haha

hm, I dunno, I feel like something has to actually be legit to break through into historical relevance like that, and... I mean there's this attitude right now that this post-Emo/Scene thing is just something older generations couldn't understand, but from what I've seen there are smarter, less shitty kids of this same generation off making witchhouse/seapunk/icepunk/etc... and these metalcore/Scene kids are their generation's shitty equivalent of, say, Good Charlote or whatever

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

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

Yeah, well, unless kids have changed drastically since my era (hey, guess what, they haven't) that sexist horrible shit doesn't appeal. Well, yeah, it appeals to frat boys and alterna-trendies, but they've always been there, they've always been shit, and they've never represented what most of the generation want.

that's the thing. sound is awesome. content is repulsive beyond belief. "your daddy will be proud of his stupid little girl / shut the fuck up". no, just shut the fuck up, forever.

just trying to draw the boundaries clearly. it's not that i have a problem with their sound...

...the hell

I almost want to like this stuff - it could be argued these bands are actually going into new territory here, but it's all so shit

― Chris S

I'm on the same boat... they're overtly ambitious but the result is crap. It's like getting the top spot at ratemypoo ambition.

They're not ambitious, though. If they were, they'd be pushing more boundaries than 'brostep crabcore'. It's not like they're creating anything new, I mean, Jesus, I think it'd be generous to say they're even amalgamating things in a new way. They're just obnoxious and shitty.

^ yeah. even the intro is a straight-up ripoff of "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites." where's the ambition in that?

eh, ambition and "boundary pushing" are dubiously constructed. pop just has to sound fresh and catchy to its audience.

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.

dying

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

https://www.kerrang.com/features/the-true-story-behind-the-most-hated-metal-video-of-all-time/

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.
