i just watched this for the second time. I think i can safely say i hvae never heard / seen anyhting THAT bad in AGES. When these dudes turn techno at 2:50 is fucking priceless. Unbelievable.

BTW this is not metal. If this is metal, Avril Lavigne is hardcore punk.

I hate my generation.

Donk and Crabcore are what make 2009 so great

Just looking at it makes my crotch hurt. Dude mustn't have even the slightest semblance of male genitalia.

Amen

I'd heard of them, assumed they were awful.
Consider it verified.

Adding some douchebag screaming in the background is not going to make your whiny techno group a hardcore band.

Seriously, somebody needs to educate Gen Z on what hardcore is...on the other hand, if anybody did, they'd probably be like "well, it isn't hardcore, it's crunkcore/crabcore/emocore/etc."

"-core" is NOT a suffix. You cannot throw it around lightly.

Does anyone actually like them? Or were they just signed to a label for comedic purposes?

In retrospect, it seems Refused have a lot to answer for, doesn't it?

I've heard worse.

Like Pavement.

Last week my music class had to do our performances. As we were preparing, my metal-loving friends were talking about how to improve their stage presence (personality, confidence, stage presence improve your marks). One of them did the crabcore moves with their bass. I thought it must have been some metal in-joke.
