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

The horror, the horror:

(apologies if this has been posted before. apologies as well for posting it at all)

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.

Crabcore HQ

i was hoping this got gifd!!

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/228/running.gif

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

I like when am0n dubbed this cher metal

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

its more like "wow this is shitty" followed by watching it 20 times for me

Weird, there's a whole other video for this!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D8CPXVhNsQ&feature=related

I did feel that the first one was missing glowsticks

oh my god this song :D

cannot choose between 'virtuoso' piano moment, first appearance of autotune or eurodance rave-up

*watches* "So, what does the keyboard player do other than headbang behind his rig?"

*later* "Oh."

*later still* "Ohhhhhhhhh."

wow I thought BEP's "I Gotta Feeling" would be the funniest song I'd hear this week but checkfuckingmate

Come on, this is great.

I love how the keyboard player isn't plugged into anything, no power, no cords to the amp, nothing.

I also love how the kid walks in right as the trance synth kicks in. Not only will the other kids not let you in to the show, but when you do finally sneak in it turns out that they were all going to see Aqua.

So I had to stop by the mall to pick up something for my wife and decided to stop in Hot Topic. Don't laugh, its one of the few brick and mortar stores in my area that regularly carries Century Media and Nuclear Blast releases. ANYWAY. Brokencyde and Attack Attack were everyfuckingwhere. I mean, they had AT LEAST 30 copies of each and tshirts tshirts tshirts. Apparently this is most definitely a THING.

only in America. i hope. i pray.

hopefully attack attack fares better than brokencyde did in wikipedia's estimation of their relevance

its more like "wow this is shitty" followed by watching it 20 times for me

totally prefer Brokencyde, though I do hope (as always) that some more focused youngsters somewhere will provide lengthier explorations of the trance/metal connection

totally prefer Brokencyde

I phrase I suspect you thought you would never utter.

in fact I would like to solicit ILM's recommendations for not-too-cheesy trance + metal that doesn't come from cheeky noise bands, because Tatu could only go so far

Rolling "teh lolz" draadje

are they laughing at americans

this entire thread can be summed up thusly

BrokeNCYDE single vond ik leuk op een debiele manier, Hollywood Undead had ook een paar aardige singles. Attack Attack! is waardeloos. Beste van het stel is wat mij betreft HORSE the Band met heel veel voorsprong.

These guys are such hopeless douchecakes, it's palpably staggering.

Sometimes I really do imagine AINYC as a ruffled English aristocrat

I mean, OTM, but come now!

palpably staggering c'mon dude don't you write for a living

If you want to call it a living.

open goal there, dude

living joke

I thought he was talking about Dutch music geeks.

wow you're like candyman except instead of saying it to a mirror at midnight just post dutch on a thread and you appear

the candyman says dutch to a mirror at midnight?

it is midnight

candyman: dutch
mirror: lol

Yup, that's just the kind of hopeless douchecakes we are.

no no, attack attack are the douchecakes, the dutch are bloodthirsty supernatural serial killers

a hopeless work of staggering douchecakes

I know, right?

I've always thought somebody should make a documentary about christian rock, so I'll have to check that one out. one of the most bizarre trends in recent times, imo.

it's like a self-sustained little mini universe that I know almost nothing about! that produces CRABCORE BANDS.

they are just pandering to ILM now:

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

dying

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.

we should just post the entire entry here before it's jettisoned

can't stop loling @ Arch Cancerped

Arch Cancerped

you know who I feel bad for in all this? brokencyde. it's like they were totally obliterated in the wake of attack attack's douchenozzle jetstream.

you guys can't even be bothered to mock them anymore! that hurts! at least throw them a pity fuck or something.

wait, what, there is actually a band called Devil Wears Prada? are you fucking kidding me?

when they get down low it's the aural equivalent of truck balls

I'd like to think they're singing about Stick Stickley and not Jesus

they'd just call the song "Jesus" if it was about him, obv

duh!!!

did ILM coin "crabcore?"

omg

omg omg omg

didn't am0n make those gifs? so did 'we' roll the guardian or what?

didn't someone on this thread claim tim & eric involvement? in the wiki page at least?

i have many questions

did ILM coin "crabcore?"

no

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

PRESERVE This is legit. People trying to shut down Crabcore is the same as when they were trying to shut down "Rock N Roll" back in the day.

also i didn't make the gifs they're from here

Crabcore is a new meme created by the 4chan /b/tards and /mu/tants - nothing more. Like every meme they force, other morons slowly latch onto it. I grantee they are having an orgasm right now because some rather famous music blog has latched onto it and wrote an entry about it.

tl;dr version
Crabcore is a forced joke by 'anonymous'.

crabcore is the future. no delete

lollllll great job all

as 4/chan memes go, crabcore's pretty good.

agreed. check the default pic on the attack attack last.fm:

hah.

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!)

hmm... bbcode strips out the exclamation point at the end of my url. lemme try again:

Here's my Attack Attack! preview for Willamette Week back on March 13 2009:

Escape the Fate, Black Tide, William Control, Attack Attack
[JESUS GRIND] Attack Attack has been fucking with my mind since I stumbled across its muted rainbow-hued MySpace page late last year. First off, this is screamo that borders on grindcore (or at least metalcore) that transitions shamelessly into clean vocal choruses drenched in auto-tuned harmonies. Even stranger to these ears are the occasional house beats and vocodered Christian lyrics. Well, Hot Topic is digging the band, and online success story Escape the Fate is taking Attack Attack on the road. I guess it’s time for me to admit that kids born while I was in high school are onto something so new and perverse that I can’t truly comprehend it. NATHAN CARSON. 7 pm.

Haha why did I know this was going be the post to revive the thread.

What's with all the sternum-tattooing these guys get?

I love this shit. More crabcore please. kthxbye

so is crabcore strictly Christian? maybe the crabwalk helps relieve the constant blue-balls caused by signing the Abstinence Pledge

what the fuck is this shit

Boggles the mind.

I'm not the world's biggest metal fan by any stretch of the imagination so I'm not really on some "ruining the purity of the genre" bullshit or anything like that but... wtf is this. Who thought this would be a good idea and can we beat them with the guitars they molested to record this abomination?

I think it's a fantastic idea.

This really is the silliest stuff in the world.

Are kids taking this stuff seriously?

hah, actually watching the confide video now. some serious crabcore action about 3mins in.

Are kids taking this stuff seriously?

well, the postal service cover is in this "Goood Music" playlist, so I'd say, yep.

but is this mostly a xtian thing?

wtf? slipknot is terrible. go listen to real metal like suicide silence

again with british people having to give a fucking genre name for everything

"chavcore" is pretty much just early 90s NYHC with british accents. why do you guys have to all try to out-name simon reynolds

Prancehall did a Guardian blog ages ago about TRC (short for Teenage Robbing Crew FYI) where he did his weird thing of highlighting something that almost no-one reading would have heard of, just to clown it... I mean they suck but he does seem to do this quite a lot

xp the ***EXCITING*** difference is it's tuffguy HC with grime vocals - this is a major breakthrough

they all secretly want to write for the NME?
xpost

(and they're white btw)

It's not really Teenage Robbin' Crew is it? I read it was The Revolution Continues.

Like I can see the dudes who came up with "wonky" or "aquacrunk" or whatever just salivating to themselves, "yes.... this is going to be my 'post-rock'"

tho maybe this belongs on a different thread, but i just didnt want the abuse from starting a chavcore thread :)

I remember them from I dunno four years back - it's a Knuckledust sideline if that means anything - and it's always been Teenage Robbing Crew to me, which I'm glad of for reasons of comedy. Maybe they changed it :/

what other chavcore bands are there?

haha I was about to say I think they're in a class of one tbh

That Attack Attack! number is atrocious but I've watched that video with the old farmhouse at least once a day for the last couple of weeks so I guess I must like it on some level. The bit where they go "whooooo" and lift their guitars above their heads is adorable. Ned upthread is on point, they really don't look any more ridiculous than the mc5 did back in the day. I doubt I'd want to listen to the number without the video running as well.

The Confide video is shit, I couldn't stand to watch it all the way through. They are better-looking, or at least a couple of them are, than Attack Attack! is about as much praise as i can think of.

Anything "chav" is so three years ago at this point I would have thought?

Like in the 90s there was quite a lot of NYHC types that decided they could rap and acted on it but that's not rilly the same thing tho I daresay it's an influence

biohazard and sick of it all are to blame?

hah, actually watching the confide video now. some serious crabcore action about 3mins in.

OK I got their single in the post this morning and had to listen to this track on it three times to confirm that I'm not losing my mind and they really sing "I'm gonna set it straight, this MARGATE".

lololol had honestly forgotten all about these guys

lololol

I doubt I'd want to listen to the number without the video running as well.

funny thing is I really like the new brokencyde album but I can't watch their videos

<3 u all

I don't like the chavcore direction this has taken. can we just use this thread to discuss crabcore bands, plz?

AKA BRITS STAY OUT!!!!!

hey guys, check out this new crabcore record sleeve:

https://ssl.maui.net/pbm-ssl/MenuBlock/TheseColorsDon%27tRun.gif

"Define Cocky" is a remarkably long 2:57 second song.

Tho' yeah, Britishes should not try to compare any of their socialist-ass non-Jesus-aware musical forms to crabcore. Wait for it to die out, then sell it back to us 12 years later as sports arena chants.

Crabcore died when the first kid said
'crabcores not dead'

I zealously await post-crabcore!

Penicillincore?

cmon guys, crabcore may not quite sound as fresh as when we all first heard "stick stickly" anymore, but I think there is still lots of potential here. let's not mourn crabcore just yet.

i don't really get what's so funny about crabcore beyond the crabbing

like it's just mr. bungle for a generation of kids with assymetrical haircuts. ya'll act like you never heard a screamo band b4.

the crabbing is indeed funny

i wish scott would come in hear and get all indignant

here

Is this shit in Kerrang yet? If it does get in Kerrang then it could get huge and noone will be laughing at it anymore.

Is Brokencyde actually crabcore or is that like calling the Beatles a Merseybeat band?

ya'll act like you never heard a screamo band b4.

Xtian autotuned electro screamo w/ synchronized taint-banging is a sign of the End Times. God is in the details, are you rapture ready?

listenin to the devil wears prada "still fly" cover now. these doofuses are on warped tour? lolz.

purpletoilet420 (12 hours ago)

this is an AMAZING remake of a rap song. although i havent heard the rap song, probably shitty with thumpin base but tdwp definitely made it a song im gonna blast from my car. sick band im checkin out all their cds

like it's just mr. bungle for a generation of kids with assymetrical haircuts.

so basically you've never actually heard Mr. Bungle before

hahaha.

Bang your taint. Metal health will make you faint.

Bang your taint. Crabcore renders Bungle quaint.

lol @ AMG Brokencyde review

There's an old man pictured with a pimp chalice in the CD's booklet, so if that has you going "LOL," sign up. Otherwise, this is the most aptly named album ever and a parent's worst nightmare, thanks to its irresponsible attitude toward drinking, women, and songwriting.

i don't really get what's so funny about crabcore beyond the crabbing

What ISN'T funny about this stuff? Albeit it's funny in a "i'm laughing to keep myself from crying" sorta way.

Is Brokencyde actually crabcore or is that like calling the Beatles a Merseybeat band?

brokencyde is crunkcore!

more lol quotes from brokencyde reviews

If this is the future of music, it’s a future without hope.

If this s*** somehow manages to sell, and it will, then we are doomed as a society

Don't be fooled, it’s not music.

Music so bad, it has become the universal standard for bad music

they are universally reviled but I think that album is really funny and surprisingly consistent. plus their screamo/crunk hybrid sounds a lot more organic than attack attack's tortured genetic experiments.

plus they have a song with the chorus "girl you make my peepee hard"

quotes like that make me want to like brokencyde, actually.

(x-post)

the level of po-faced handwringing is lolworthy in and of itself

I hope scott gives them a thumbs up in decibel

plus they have a song with the chorus "girl you make my peepee hard"

Less Bungle more Bloodhound Gang, then. (They HAVE been mentioned as a comparison point, surely.)

http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=3572765&blogId=443775467

I'll have to defer to yr more advanced knowledge of bloodhound gang here, ned... but the brokencyde vibe is closer to andrew wk, ridiculous party tunes delivered with a straight face rather than hur-hur novelty stuff

or should I say redonkulous

are there any Pirate Crabcore bands yet?

this music sounds like teen pregnancy, pick-ups with rims, and Friday night fights in a Burger King parking lot.

shit does not sound like bungle AT ALL

yeah like dan's right whiney i think u just got caught out

writing too many tweets got you reaching for one liners homie

nothing like mr bungle at all

also all this OMG i so wanna like them now to piss ppl off was funnier when da croupier was trying to get that stupid nickelback sounding band to place on the pazz & jop poll

Hinder!

I would unironically vote for brokencyde in pazz & jop

if I ever voted in pazz & jop

which I don't

the system works i guess

lol

You can't even be like "well I meant they were like Bungle in attitude" because um they aren't.

d4n you are grinding the heel in

I'd rather talk about Whiney being wrong than this music, tbh

sadism vs masochism tbh

no i think he means they're like bungle in that they are squatting down and mike patton is known to poop in like shoeboxes and shit

didn't he drink pee out of a glass slipper cuz someone said they liked limp bizkit or something?

pretty sure that was terence koh

Q:'so what are the big changes in the scene?'

A:'t-shirts have more color on them.'

you guys are pretty fucking stupid sometimes

i never said they sounded like mr. bungle, i'm saying they play the role of the mr. bungle-style genre-mash 50-ideas-in-one-song band for a generation of kids that grew up on My Chem instead of Slayer

50 ideas is giving them too much credit

that interview is a real meeting of the minds.

and yeah, I'd say more "pretty fly for a white guy" than mr. bungle, but hey.

tbh I think this whole genre is just an way to sell tshirts

I think this whole genre any rock marketed towards 15 year olds is just a way to sell tshirts

not gonna lie, I kind of want a 'crab fukken core' t-shirt

bullshit, the song is just a boring normal song with some crappy techno-ish production shit. closer to static x with some dumb boy band singing on it than bungle.

that's not 50 ideas, it's barely one idea.

you obv don't even know bungle and are just half reciting some shit you think you thought you read one time.

things only Attack Attack can provoke

"hah, actually watching the confide video now. some serious crabcore action about 3mins in."

Damn you. I was proud of myself for turning this off half-way through. Then you made me look.

And now I'm feeling crabby. Praise Jesus.

^ What is happening to us?!

Some serious crabbing out going on there in the hallway. And is the crabcut the new crew cut?

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

crabbing is nice, but the song needs more crunk or more trance to be truly entertaining to me.

http://www.tonightshowwithconanobrien.com/video/clips/andy-hillstrand-070809/1133904/

i'm surprised no one else has posted this. crabcore has gone mainstream!!! fastforward to the last minute.

i've calmed down now. sorry for the outburst.

wait, can we talk about how in that conan clip, the commercial before it has a grime mc? wtf?!

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/20/arts/music/20warp.html?_r=1

"In one of the day’s best sets Attack Attack! played punishing synth-screamo, though the small stage didn’t allow for the band members’ signature floor-scraping crouches."

Matt, I'm not saying it's a masterful composition but don't you at least think that the form of "Stick Sickly" is a bit less straightforward and features more changes in style (as well as tempo and metre) than this?:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY8C-YBwcuU

I do think there's something going on there other than just "a boring normal song with crappy techno-ish production". Not saying it's as clever as Bungle could be.

"the small stage didn’t allow for the band members’ signature floor-scraping crouches"

I read that thinking it was one weird way to spell crotches.

Are all these bands (not Static X, obviously) Christian though? Is Crabcore strictly a God Squad thing?

i think you will need to wait and see how it develops, bands are only starting to do the crabcore thing since the name, which was actually mocking it, was thought of(about a month ago?).
So who knows if bands will see the christian label and say its naff so only christian bands do it or one of them gets a big major label deal and they all pile on the bandwagon regardless of whether they're christian or not.

my guess is it wont be confined to christian bands.

he gentleman with “Kill All Posers” scrawled across his upper back in black marker let 3OH!3 know exactly how he felt during its midday set on Saturday at the Vans Warped Tour. Sidling through the crowd bopping feverishly to the band’s dopey, energetic blend of electro, hip-hop and punk, he kept two middle fingers raised and his face squarely on his destination, somewhere far away.

people who do this kinda shit at shows are so hilarious to me

ha no wonder, these guys are like 18 years old!

"We’re not a Christian band"

I can't tell who is the bigger idiot -- the interviewer or the singer kid.

the kid when asked about the bands influences and how they fit in with the hardcore scene.

"I think we fit in cuz like, a lot of people - we're heavier than a lot of people think...cuz in our name, we have purple and pink in our name.. and that's like our logo.... kids come out and see us and see we have heavy ass breakdowns.. and it's a uhhh a lot heavier than what a lot of people think......"

I think I'm about to have a heavy ass breakdown.

I just said Bungle because I didn't think Matt was smart enough to know who Naked City is.

bullshit, the song is just a boring normal song with some crappy techno-ish production shit. closer to static x with some dumb boy band singing on it than bungle.

i somehow think you're confusing my statement. I said "these guys have a lot of ideas, much like Bungle, but for the nu-emo crowd" and not "THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME JUST LIKE MR BUNGLE11111!!! I'mM GONNA PUT EM ON MY MYSPACE PAGE LOL"

Yes, this song is garbage, but to call it a "normal song" implies a) you didn't even listen to it and just watched the funny crab gifs or b) you are a zappaphile with your head so far up you own ass that you don't know what a "normal" song is anymore.

The band skates through genres on the turn of a dime, not even bothering to bridge them together. The effect is jarring. It's a mess of ideas and riffs, all totally pasted together seemingly at random.

Oh yeah, here's the structure of this "normal" song

A. Hardcore part with minor key keyboards
B. Major label metalcore with autotune
C. Breakdown
D. Super sludgy breakdown of the breakdown
E. Boy band pianos and crooning
F. Mosh part
G. LMFAO/Crystal Castles electro part
H. Weird prog-metal ending

There's a weird, stomach-churning detuned hum going through one part, but I don't remember where it is, I can't hear it on my computer speakers and I'm not getting up to get my headphones.

The chorus only appears TWICE and it's played completely different both times. A band like Static X would prefer to repeat their choruses maybe three or four times.

that's not 50 ideas, it's barely one idea.

Its at least 8 ideas. None of them good, but more than the two that most bands have in a song

you obv don't even know bungle and are just half reciting some shit you think you thought you read one time.

Seriously, do me a solid and never respond to me in a thread again.

Those structure points don't really make much sense if you have listened to much metalcore, sadly I have because I bro down with dudes who used to be in these sort of shit bands and I can state that:

A. Hardcore part with minor key keyboards
C. Breakdown
D. Super sludgy breakdown of the breakdown
E. Boy band pianos and crooning
F. Mosh part
H. Weird prog-metal ending

are quotidian in this shit and only

B. Major label metalcore with autotune
&
G. LMFAO/Crystal Castles electro part

are at all notable.

Yes they're quotidian, sure. Its more a statement of how erratically they piece them together.

If this song "breaks" or whatever, the only popular song that has a similar structure is like "Paranoid Android"

crabcore thread getting heated!

B. Major label metalcore with autotune

I have to say that I don't even find this part very novel. (or jarring in the context of the song.)

I mean, isn't this really just an emo/pop-punk chorus with autotune vox pasted on top? I don't think anyone would bat an eye if it weren't for the autotune.

G. LMFAO/Crystal Castles electro part

I don't think anyone can deny this.

basically, I don't think these guys are piecing the song together erratically so much as without any sense of craft.

most of the elements are well-worn metalcore territory and a band with a better sense of how to arrange them could make the whole thing sound smoother, I think.

and that's just not what mr. bungle's m.o. was.

I'm gonna have a bag of these and cool down.

Ewwwww

I have eaten those, and the only thing worse than the taste, is the smell.

yup, i made the same mistake a few months ago. i actually got through about three of them.

I live near a Korean supermarket, and was really into trying these snack foods for a while, and they were good at first, but after a few times of getting sick afterwards I now avoid all of them.

i sent them to my (stoner) lolcollege sister and she started eating them w/o knowing what they were :D

my wife just realised that she wrote about Attack Attack for AP a couple months back:

http://www.altpress.com/recommends/225.htm

fucking hilarious. i'm going to clown her about this forever. i do remember her being irritated at how terrible that band was, but still.

your wife's name is rob?

i don't understand why every person but me can correctly discern the byline at the end of the writing about Attack Attack from the name of the person who posted the thing online. very odd, but you're certainly not the first.

bzang

rob is short for robin maybe

or roberta

i love roberta flack's essays on crabcore, definitely de capo material for this year

No, wrong, just that I hadn't noticed "K3lly D3laney" until second glance

thx for the update louis

guys i think we have this thing settled

kelly delaney posted roberta's article

the kelly delaney 6000 was pretty cool

wait, ppl SERIOUSLY didn't see the "K.D." byline? lol

what a disaster for roberta flack

seems like kelly d was robbed of her credit

more impressed that pipecock's wife is roberta flack than the other impressive fact that she's writing about attack attack in alternative press

Very disappointed to find out that it is not Attack! Attack! playing at our local venue in the coming weeks, but Attack Attack!, a similarly named Welsh pop punk outfit.

Oh man, I never saw that Black Veil Brides link a month ago. I sat next to one of those dudes in high school orchestra for a couple years.

not sticking to the crabcore ideal IMO

that was before the addition of the guy I know, who undoubtedly helped them with their makeup skills

That Design They Skyline track am0n posted needs more discussion - it's almost like some sort of Extreme Animals track in parts; I have no idea how they'd uh compose a track like that!

yeah I was gonna say, this shit is crazy!! not that I am the most knowledgeable person in the world about crabcore genre conventions but uh they seem to be all over the place with this one

I feel like these songs are born out of jam sessions where two dudes at a time take turns playing a wicked breakdown from a song they both know, and the rest of the band starts crabbing along if they're into it, and then eventually the best sequences of breakdowns are made into new songs — also, every once in a while the keyboard player gets fed up because he has trouble following along by ear and nobody ever writes things down or tells him the chords they're gonna play or w/e, so he picks out a rhythm present from the "TRANCE" bank and plays it at full blast for a couple measures

Ladies and gentlemen.

Crabcore is now officially approved by the White House:

Guys, guys. This is EVEN FUCKING WORSE.

Brostep crabcore?!?!

*tosses match over shoulder toward gasoline soaked human society*

I was going to assume they were from the wastes of LA, but they're from.... Germany!

that is worse, yes. seriously curious about the thought process of these bands -- "this song doesn't have enough stuff going on in it, let's add the beginning of prince's 'kiss' somewhere"

...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

Whatever you do, don't try to make out the lyrics.

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'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

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.

crabby days are here again

Not even the return of crabcore can bring joy in these godforsaken times.

nevertheless I am here for it

http://kittynchoke.com/cXc.jpg

So I just recently realized that the "clean" vocalist from Attack Attack! now performs as the ridiculously named Bilmuri and is actually somewhat popular? He sold out a place here in town this week. I wonder if he has any crabcore left in his show.

And apparently it's described as "trap country meets djent". *shudder*

Always out there pushing boundaries.
