In the eight-ish months since they first splattered themselves into the consciousness of music listeners, the shutter-shaded crunk-core act brokeNCYDE has spawned many reactions befitting the title of its debut album, I’m Not A Fan… But The Kids Like It. But I am wondering if revulsion toward their schtick, which combines David St. Hubbins’ confusion between “sexy” and “sexist” with tunes that even Tokio Hotel fans would find hookless, is starting to cross generational and demographic divides. The reason? The budding etymologists at Urban Dictionary have come up with a (somewhat convincing!) way to use the band’s name as a verb:
brokencyde
The act of having a penis inserted into your ear.
In case you need a refresher of just what that, uh, odd sex act sounds like, here’s the video for “Freaxxx”:
So far this definition of “brokencyde” is winning handily over its competitors (among them: “Music so bad, it has become the universal standard for bad music”; “A group who after having listened to them is the only good reason to commit suicide”).

even Tokio Hotel fans
My god, I had completely forgotten they’d existed.
Their album that came out last week sold terribly. JUSTICE IS SERVED.
Re: that video,
Well, fuck you too.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That is amazing. Also, I stopped it after the first chorus and never want to hear it again. But still.
@NedRaggett: I KNOW. If my sister wasn’t among their ranks, I would have, too. Apparently they are “in the studio” getting ready to take the US by storm…(???)
Also, what the HELL is this video? I blame society for letting them think they could get away with this. How many albums did it sell and who bought them? This could be a good guide for where we need to target the enhancement of public education funding.
And finally, if we are going to talk about teenybopper-related things, I think it must be noted that the eldest Jonas Brother, Kevin, just got unapologetically engaged to his girlfriend.
In your FACE, teen idol formula! (…or is it?)
Oh, answered my own question: 6,293. Which, incidentally = #87 on the Billboard 200. Just…wow.

@ObtuseIntolerant: I love that press release they sent around trying to claim that as a victory.
@NedRaggett: Wasn’t that sublime?
who knew that stephen baldwin was in this band? and don’t try telling me that’s not stephen baldwin on the left. i’ve seen biodome like 18 times.
Penis in the ear. I’ve heard it all now.
I don’t think they’re really worth anyone’s righteous indignation. They’re pretty good for a laugh.
Hey guys, I found some girls who like being screamed at, and my uncle said we can use his driveway. Let’s make a video!
@juiceandgin: What? I can’t hear you, I have a penis in my ear.
I want to punch them.
I repeat: Brokencyde sound nothing like Hadouken! and I now hate the former friend who recommended me the former because I like the latter.
I like this band.
