It’s hard to believe that New Mexico “crunkcore” crew brokeNCYDE actually exists outside of YouTube links that doughy, saddo Broken Social Scene fans with superiority complexes send to each other to convince themselves that they are smarter than a 10th grader. And it’s even harder to believe brokeNCYDE didn’t come fully formed out of the bowels of MySpace as a combination of friend-stacking fashionistas and scene-kid crypto-irony, ready to convince your little sister that it’s still more fun to take pictures of a show with a cell phone than actually watch it.
brokeNCYDE had growing pains just like any band. Take “Bree Bree,” from 2008’s self-released BC-13—recorded back in the days before they had a better grasp of beats and before they realized it was probably a bad idea to be saying the n-word on their records. To explain this to anyone older than 17, “Bree Bree” is the piggie vocal noise that a few “deathcore” bands in the mid-’00s used to squeak out—an affectation they quickly abandoned once it became an internet punchline with in the span of a week. brokeNCYDE are goofballs (or completely fucking clueless), so they not only continued to bree proudly towards the end of the decade, but even named their giant pigsuit mascot (!) Bree Bree. Besides eating a big runny scoop of “Bree,” they get “freaky with sluts,” wear ice on their neck and say that—ugh, ugh, ugh—they “need a project chick.” Bands like brokeNCYDE and electro-doofus earthstains like 3OH!3 are essentially excuses for rich white kids to play dress-up with the most sexist and materialistic elements of hip-hop—pretty much a minstrel show in crooked haircuts.

That was deeply satisfying.
Wow. This list will harrow our very souls, won’t it?
Putting it together was like looking into the abyss and realizing your dog when you were six didn’t really “go to the farm” like mom told you
Bands like brokeNCYDE and electro-doofus earthstains like LMFAO are essentially excuses for rich white kids to play dress-up with the most sexist and materialistic elements of hip-hop—pretty much a minstrel show in crooked haircuts.
I’m never gonna claim their music is good or anything, but this isn’t quite accurate on either count. I think one of the guys in LMFAO is one of Berry Gordy’s kids, and as Metal Inquisition reported, BrokeNCYDE are actually “super chill Mexican stoners from Albuquerque.”
@pdfreeman: Welp, we’re barely out of the gate and we’ve already got unreasonable biled on top of race-baiting misinformation.
Let me know when all this wraps up.
I am pretty certain that comment was directed at the audience and not the bands, or at least I hope it was since it doesn’t make any sense re: LMFAO.
Back to the topic, why the hell did I listen to that brokeNCYDE song?
@pdfreeman: The whole band is Mexican?! I still don’t think that gives em any right to be dropping n-bombs. I mean even if you’re right, whatever, its still the foot leading a bigger picture that includes shit like Millionaires.
And LMFAO is my bad, because I meant to write 30h3, and I got them mixed up :/
ha I was going to leave the whole “since when has being black been synonymous with being Mexican” thing alone but since it’s been brought up…
@Christopher R. Weingarten: Millionaires are the new Runaways, grandpa.
@pdfreeman: God help us.
@pdfreeman: If time proves me wrong (it won’t), I’ll buy you a space-beer
@Christopher R. Weingarten: I do look forward to the necessary 3OH!3 and HyperCrush entries in this list.
@Christopher R. Weingarten: NAH.
this whole “crunk core” thing isn’t nearly as popular as the internet makes it seem. That brokenCYDE record barely sold, and I’m sure 3OH3′s success can be chalked up to their one “mainstream” single.
In summation, crunk core is Snakes on a Plane.
that was supposed to be re pdfreeman.
Bottom of the list? Lord have mercy.
@Halfwit Hey, I wrote that BC13 post on Metal Inqusition and would seriously like your thoughts on this:
http://www.stuffyouwillhate.com/2009/10/fall-jamz-2k9-breathe-carolina-tripped.html
Especially the second half of the post. I’m honestly curious if you’re exaggerating your opinions in hopes of creating more traffic (if so, totally cool, I literally do it every day) or if you really do hate this stuff like you say in this post. I’m not trying to be like the defender of this stuff, but I do find it really interesting in an academic sense that crunkcore makes people so, so angry- people who otherwise are pretty tough to offend.
Looking forward to hearing from you, email me at stuffyouwillhate@gmail.com if you want.
Thanks!
PS Hyper Crush fucking suck for exactly the reasons listed in this Something Awful post:

This is just plain annoying. Wow. I thought I knew what Brokencyde sounded like. I was so wrong.
Bree Bree < My Humps
I hate this so much. can you screamo or even pig squeal? no i didn’t think so its quite hard to do it took one of my friends 2 years to learn so yeah you might find them annoying and shit but there are some people out there that love them and they are quite talented guys to be able to scream like they do they are amazing I’d love to see you try and scream =D
wow,
music is music.
it's emotion.
and it's feeling for the soul.
there's no wrong way to make it.
you're ignorant,
basically.
