A world wide anti douche-bag request..

Yeah, there was an awesome thread about this poor souls a few month ago. If someone could dig that up again I´d be eternally grateful.

EDIT: Here you go.

I think the new single 40oz shows some real growth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoLUc6cqAOU
By growth, I mean the lead "singer" has gotten kinda bloated.

Thanks guys, up to this point I was blissfully ignorant, now I'll have to live in a world that actually allows this abortion to exist.

Is there a possibility that this is a display of near-genius levels of parody that we're witnessing here?

Well, why not up the stakes here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMf4N...eature=related

I mean, really, hating on Brokencyde is so last year. I'm kinda excited at the lovecraftian prospects of what will be hateworthy in 2010.

edit: Serious tho, if you click that link, stick* with it till the end.
*Oh yes, I did.

Is this one of those big city thing that won't hit the backwoods for a while? Because we're just now getting to deal with 3OH!3.

Possible? yes. Likely? Frighteningly not.

I think those guys rank right above 'baby crying on a plane' on the list of things I never want to hear again.

But don't you guys get it? It's an emo band singing gangsta rap lyrics!? lol!!!111!!!1

My entire family could be wiped out in a horrific car crash, where I am the only survivor & a botched blood transfusion left me with superAIDS, and discovering brokeNCYDE would still be the worst thing to happen to me this year.

It's also proof that aspiring young actresses/models will appear in literally anything to get noticed. If I were them I would consider offers for snuff films with more sincerity than one of these friggin' music videos.

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised so many folks here hadn't been exposed to Brokencyde months ago, since they were being referenced pretty frequently when that video first hit youtube (maybe it was just on the music board?).

I wouldn't say Attack Attack ups the stakes. They're bad in new and original ways, yes, but there's quicker payoff (thus more entertainment value) in sending unsuspecting friends links to Brokencyde videos. The annoyance starts with the first notes, while Attack Attack just sounds like below-average heavy shit until the autotune kicks in.

I do admire Attack Attack for not even bothering to contrive a way to seamlessly integrate their two modes of operation, though. It's like someone just stitched the whole thing together in the studio without bothering to account for how it all sounds together. It's groundbreaking in its compositional laziness. Complacence-core.

I forgot where but Brokencyde was mentioned around here some time ago.

Can anyone tell me what the deal is with that dude in the pig costume? Do I not get it because I'm old and shit?

I've got a brother who's getting married in September. I have always hated him. Does Attack Attack! perform at weddings?

This is, I suppose a more eloquent way of saying what I was thinking, which was: Seriously, what the fuck IS that? True metal fans must have been snickering along with me as we watched the keyboard player tryin' to be all metal heavy an' shit.

The twist ending is awesome.

If you watch Roddy Bottum from Faith No More, there's only that duck-behind-the-keyboard move available when you're stuck behind that instrument.

Sad that I go to work all week and shit like this actually buys these guys nice houses. Never underestimate the power of young douches and 18 year old girls!!!

I hate to defend any of this, but the fact that there's a song called "Stick Stickly" by a band called Attack Attack is pretty great.

I think the name Attack Attack should be taken away from them and given to a more deserving band.

It's almost as awesome as the way the lead singer is constantly jogging in place and the guitarists are squatting like they're about to give birth standing up.

It seems they call it, I shit you not, Crabcore. You must squat in a crab-like pose to play the guitar like a douchebag, and you're obviously hardcore for doing so, so it only makes sense to combine the two terms: and thus, crabcore.

Shmun, I should apologize. I was sure you were making that up (dear God, I said to myself, please let him be making that up), and I did some digging so that I might equip myself for debunking your sick little joke.

You weren't kidding.

I'm so, so sorry. For all of us, really.

I read that article.

I weep.

God bless the music industry. Mining nuggets of crap and selling it as 24k is still a viable career option.

For the kids: Lemmy doesn't crabcore. Lemmy IS hardcore.



Lemmy plays without posing. Lemmy walks it like he talks it. Lemmy has good manners. Lemmy tells the truth. Lemmy is polite. Lemmy is/was good to his Mum. Lemmy is loyal to fans, and they are loyal to him. Lemmy worked HARD and learned his instrument (Lemmy also innovative!). Lemmy paid his dues. Lemmy thus gets lots of money, free booze and TONS of womens! Lemmy is hardcore.

Kids, be like Lemmy!

It's actually very hard to play an instrument properly in that sort of position.

And the Lemmy love is thirded. One other fun lil' tidbit: I heard him interviewed on Opie and Anthony a few years ago. Of course, they tried getting him to talk about sex, and one thing he did say is he has a preference for black women. So he's open minded, as well.

He looks like he just saw that video and is gonna beat them with his guitar. Followed by a pummeling with the 'stash.

Weren't Brokencyde surpassed by 3oh!3 as musical douchebags of the month by lieu of their actually getting mainstream airplay anyway?

That video is a running "hey, see how long you can watch this before gagging" joke at my workplace. It's like the musical equivalent of '2 Girls, 1 Cup'.

I must say this, I hope bands like Brokencyde, Attack Attack, etc. DO become popular. Here's why:

We went through shit like this back in the late '80s, early '90s. Music flat out sucked back then, what with the hair metal bands, power ballads, New Kids on the Block, etc. All the good alternative stuff (early REM, Replacements, etc.) was found on college radio.

Slowly, people started getting sick of seeing the weenie bands and singers plastered on MTV, magazines, etc. so much so that folks wanted something new. Enter bands like Mother Love Bone, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden... bands that fucking rocked, gave less than a damn about MTV, and changed the game. Now, lots of the hair metal bands and kid acts from the past are more or less gone, save for the occasional nostalgia tour or appearance at a county fair or something.

My point is, once bands like Brokencyde become popular, something far, far,better usually is coming up. Something that becomes a game-changer and shakes things up so much, that the shit stuff will fall be the wayside and succumb to well-deserved oblivion. I give it 2-3 years, and most of Brokencyde will either be dead or selling real estate while everyone else kicks back and enjoys some rockin' tunes. Happened before, will happen again.

WTF? You forgot Mudhoney!

I hope Judas does not read this... I don't think he knows yet.

Truer words have never been spoken. The world of metal and music in general would be infinitely better if Lemmy was the example (that he rightfully deserves to be) for everyone.

I challenge anyone to find anything as bad as Brokencyde in any timeperiod.

Now go ahead and make me regret writing that.

Metro Station FTW.

What the fuck did I just watch?

I can't stop watching this. Crabcore, auto tune, and electronica dance remix? I can't even comprehend how this came to be.

I finally got around to watching this. Wow. Just fucking wow. You know, this maybe a function of me getting older, but when I was watching that video the first thought that popped into my head was: what are these kids so upset about?

That was lame. Very lame.

He just wanted to match. Guess he suceeded.

Crabcore 4eva!!!!!

I'd like to attack attack them with an entire infantry armed with nailguns.

Google a band named Anal Cunt.

This makes me wish Three Times One Minus One actually existed.

They're from Middle America born to Middle Class parents so they have a lot of rage.

Oh come on, at least they're funny. How can you hate a band that has songs like "You Were Pregnant So I Kicked You In The Stomach" or "Windchimes are Gay"?
