It has recently come to my attention that “the kids these days” are listening to some utterly dire music. Stuff that makes you shocked its fans are able to form a sentence, let alone shoplift Arafat scarves from Urban Outfitters. When I started classing up my CD collection and exploring music as a high schooler, I imagined that there couldn’t be a class of bands worse than those popular at the time—the post-grunge mutants that sludged forth in the mid-’90s like toxic ooze mixed with Stone Gossard’s old flannels. And I don’t think the bar has been set much lower than Collective Soul, Nickelback, Seven Mary Three, Papa Roach and their ilk set it so many years ago. Until now.
Count me out on this pop culture thing. I’m gonna go hang with that dude telling kids to get out of his shed.
Offender 1: Brokencyde
Sippin’ bottles of Patron
Get loose, get laid,
F*****’ bitches’ everyday
BC13 and you know we’re here to stay
These hoes, these hoes
Are always blowing up my phone
When I walk up in the club they goin’ “Now I’m in the zone!”
–Brokencyde — “Get Crunk”
Brokencyde are like overly self-conscious teenagers who started a rap band and pretended like they spent more of their life “partying” than waiting in line at an H&M dressing room. I say “like” because I’d like to think that these aren’t actually humans but in reality a prototype of the humanoid robot child played by Haley Joel Osment in A.I.. To call this stuff robotic is actually almost a compliment.
What Brokencyde’s, um, “offering” is is an atonal, autistic appropriation of crunk (with an additional “screamo guy” thrown in to spice it up) as performed by white kids from the suburbs whose musical bona fides comprise the ability to awkwardly bounce their heads next to desperate-looking video girls. To ensure that no one here is working, the singer uses autotune. They also have a song called “2 Drunk 2 Drive”, as if drinking and driving was the only way these guys could endanger anyone around them, and a cover Flo Rida’s “Low”, if you’re into pain.
Offender #2: The Millionaires
Can you believe I get paid to shake my ass on stage
We’re getting drunk erryday you’re makin minimum wage
We live the life you wish bitch don’t say shit!
No talent just lucky but they still wanna f*** me!
–The Millionaires — “Just Got Paid, Let’s Get Laid”
YouTube has yet to post an official copy of the Millionaires’ “Just Got Paid”, but you bet your ass Vimeo jumped on this thing. I can only hope that this was even too horrible for YouTube. “Drunk women fondling each other in some dude’s living room? That’s cool. That Nazi propaganda montage? Whatevs. But no way is YouTube hosting this Millionaires video; we have investors to answer to!”
The Millionaires, for neophytes, are the lady equivalent of Brokencyde. It doesn’t really go any further than that. The thought process was probably “Dude, have you seen this ish? We need a Brokencyde!” Yes, that’s how they talk over there at Decaydance, Pete Wentz’s apparently insane record label—along with the Millionaires, there’s someone signed to the label just called “Doug”. It sounds like it’s run by 15-year-olds.
But are 15-year-olds the ones who really want this? This video is an advertisement for statutory rape. If it attracts desperate tweens with terrible parental guidance I won’t be shocked, but I’ll be even less shocked when the Millionaires’ concerts start looking more like reruns of “To Catch a Predator”. Commenting on the video, my friend Joe said he hopes he never has a daughter. After watching this I’m hoping I never have to interact with anyone under the age of 19.
Offenders #3 + #4: Confide and Attack! Attack!
This world is so un-perfect,
This love is so un-worth it.
–Attack! Attack! — “Bro, Ashley’s Here”
Wow, who knew 311 was so ahead of its time? That whole one dude raps, one dude sings all tender over testosterone-fueled riffs thing made the career of Linkin Park, who just did the theme song to a little movie called Transformers 2: Revenge of the Ballin’. But 311 and Linkin Park are the Boston Pops compared to Confide and Attack! Attack!. Both bands’ dynamics echo those of the post-grunge titans, just swap the rapping dude for a screamo dude and you’ve got them pegged.
Hey screamo guy who doesn’t play any instruments—you know you’re the screamo guy just because you can’t even scrape together the ability to do that drop-D twiddling along with the rest of your band, right? Is there anything that requires less talent than doing that metal-y screaming thing? These videos are making me re-evaluate the Millionaires’ flow; at least they know what a slant rhyme is. These screamo guys don’t even need to come up with lyrics.
And almost as bad is the singing—along with making it all metal, Confide’s idea of turning a cover on its head is doing that emo thang where they sing what sounds like an overly nasal harmony for the melody. Even after all those commercials, that Postal Service hook was perfectly serviceable—until now. But save the best for last. Attack! Attack!’s “Stick Stickly” is a kiddie-bop emo-metal epic that, no joke, turns into a house song at 2:43. And the band members’ moves are so infectious that the band’s music has already been dubbed “crabcore” by some commentators. You’ve been warned.

I’ll admit as sort of a music snob myself, I definitely wasn’t a fan of the millis when i was first exposed to them but you have to take this music with a grain of salt. Once you understand the fact that these girls DO NOT take themselves seriously as musicians at all, this music is downright freakin enjoyable. Yeah, they don’t really fit in with what Decaydance usually has to offer but hey, they’re obviously making the label a lot of money and notoriety so kudos to them. If you can give me the name of a label that is ashamed of an act that sells out tours then by all means, go ahead.
Just like their lyrics suggest “no talent just luck, but they still wanna %$!# me” these girls are business savvy and have created a brand and an image that is sure to make them a lot of money.

Im so cute and so is my music! Listen to my music….oh wait. Our music
3 NICKKKKKKKKKKK // Jul 27, 2009 at 11:01 pm
Think you need to get off your high f*cking horse.
MUSIC IS MUSIC. F*cking just accept it. Just because it doesn’t fall into your standards and sh*t, doesn’t mean its ridiculous. If you don’t like it, fine don’t listen to it. But honestly, who’s to say what one can or cannot say in a song? “you make my pee pee hard” shouldn’t even be uttered? ha! I’ve heard worse. And why not say it? I think that kind of sh*t makes their music more interesting and different because it tests assholes like you. And who gives a sh*t if some of you work with ‘professional recording studios’? I don’t. And surely they don’t. Learn to break the limits and the f*cking standards for once. Learn to accept some sh*t in life. Deal with it.
Now put your motha f*ckin’ crowns up!!!!

i hope ur F***** kidding…
if u dont like the genre DONT WRITE ABOUT IT. i dont at all think that the cd deserves a 10/10 or even a 9/10 but wtf. AA! gets so much more shit than other bands just due to the fact that they decide to have a keyboard player and use auto tune on. this album is solid wether people want to recognize it or not
u mainstream idots are musicly retarded

13 BreatheCarolina // Jul 28, 2009 at 7:58 am
the guy that wrote this post is a sad jealous little ass, the only reason he doesnt like A!A! is either a) its not celine dion or b) they openly sing about God
14 d'avery // Jul 28, 2009 at 8:39 am
Right on BreatheCarolina. Joel you need to stop listening to Celine Dion. I’m tired of the non-stop Dion love on this blog. Dude U R WHACK!
“no one said this would be easy… no one.”
And no one power stances like A!A! MSO couldn’t pull of sweet moves like that.
15 Joel // Jul 28, 2009 at 8:53 am
you know what? i’d rather listen to celine dion than attack! attack!. i’ll take that.

25 MaisieIsABaller // Jul 28, 2009 at 2:37 pm
You think brokeNCYDE is BAD? Oh lemme guess, you listen to rap, pop, country, r&b, or some shit like that don’t you? If so, what are doing listening to brokeNCYDE songs? If you hate their music so much then why did you bother to write this dumbass? Do you just want to annoy the hell outta people who like these guys? If so that’s ghey (not gay gay like ghey bad)…This is my favorite band of all time, so STFU =]
26 Kyleigh159 // Jul 28, 2009 at 2:45 pm
your a little punk, thanks for wasting your time in ur moms basement to critiize some of the best music there is. If you got a problem with this music then don’t listen to it, kay? Everyones intitled to opinions, yeah. Well heres mine buddy. BROKENCYDE RULES. And you just f@#$ suck. ;D
27 Joel // Jul 28, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Well too bad for you, kyleigh59, my mom doesn’t HAVE a basement—I live in her guest room!!!! show some respect
28 Ben // Jul 28, 2009 at 7:27 pm
ApparentLIE you MADe some errors when you wrote this post. Some gheys (like you) think its spHELLed brokencyde, but it’s really brokeNCYDE, as in broke inside (duhvs), EMOphasis on NCYDE, like NSYNC only less ghey. Also, your link to Pete Wentz’s label is totally ghey. It’s not Decaydence, it’s DecayDANCE! When are you gonna stop being an iDIOt and recognEYEZ that if you don’t like a band, you have abSOLUTEly no right to make fun of it.
29 AntiViolents // Jul 28, 2009 at 7:38 pm
You just don’t get it. Just because AA! and Confide do something different, and your taste doesnt reach into christian core, you think you can criticize it when you have no place in this genre of music. I love this song and the original, give them a break because they’ve worked hard enough. Personlly I think Confide is without a doubt some of the coolest guys out there who truly spread God’s word and have a good time doing there own thing. They have fun with what they do they’re original and awesome. I love these guys and think they’re great so lets not bash them.
30 Joel // Jul 28, 2009 at 7:40 pm
oh, sorry ben, i didn’t realize that pete wentz’s label had an even dumber name than decaydence. link’s been fixed
31 Ben // Jul 28, 2009 at 8:30 pm
I seriously love that auto-tune Attack Attack uses, it sounds like the dudes from autotune the news made this song, autotune really needs expansion in more genres like this . In any case to the eternal anger of my friends, I’ve always been a conniseur of terrible music, but I’d never heard of any of these bands. I guess listening to radio Disney can only take me so deep. Nice work plumbing the depths.
32 Joel // Jul 28, 2009 at 8:32 pm
haha, yeah, i think they only play this stuff on Radio Disney After Dark …
33 Ben // Jul 29, 2009 at 10:14 am
Ok, I refuse to believe that BrokeNYCDE is a real band, those dudes are really Spike Jonze and Matt Besser right? Jesus Christ man, that’s not real music.
34 WheelintheSky1978 // Jul 30, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Holy shit. Remember the days when kids listened to rebellious music that had balls?
35 Joel // Jul 30, 2009 at 1:05 pm
uuhhhhh … you mean like Journey?
36 Kevin182Br00t4l // Jul 30, 2009 at 1:07 pm
okay so its not your type of music..
go listen to matt and kim, or paramore then..
some of us like it.. and if you dont, suck it

id like to say the millionares video is a novelty (which its obviously become), but the first time i saw it another pound was added to the crushing force on my soul, and i usually dont give a shit.
39 Christian BC // Aug 3, 2009 at 8:30 am
…”go listen to Matt & Kim or Paramore…”
You can’t be a fan of one without being a fan of the other.
Also, when I read the initial comments, I thought to myself, “Surely Joel jests, and is merely making up fake comments because no one could actually believe this is good music or even music period. But I think I was wrong. Though I’m still not totally convinced. I really enjoy that these “fans” defense is to say that anyone who doesn’t like this sophomoric dribble listens to MOR bands. The whole argument you’re presenting (And rightfully so) is that these bands are MOR. They are in no way doing anything radical or different, unless you consider it radical to hybrid multiple cancerous genres of music together to create a new form of sound-art (because, let’s face it, causing this much misery in other people through music has to be considered artistic) void of any substance or originality and that causes a brain hemorrhage in anyone with an IQ higher than 60 (yes, even retards aren’t retarded enough to like this) and anyone below that to latch onto it as the only thing they’ve ever heard in their Hot Topic in-store music life that ever sounded like it might be what they’ve heard is described as “different.”
Too bad my impassioned comment will soar high above the water-filled heads of these bands fans. Shit, I barely know if it makes sense myself, and I’m a fuckin’ genius.
40 Christian BC // Aug 3, 2009 at 8:31 am
also, any time a young, white girl gets raped, it’s the Millionaires’ fault.
41 Joel // Aug 3, 2009 at 10:14 am
mr. bc:
i’d agree that these defenders’ arguments that i probably listen to some other teeny bop bands who are all interchangeable (at least in their superficial attempts to market themselves) are the arguments of someone with a less than adequate ability for critical thinking. also, i’m not arguing anything in this post other than these bands are really, really awful …
but i’d have to say, especially in the case of attack attack and brokeNCYDE (i got it right now!), that we’re witnessing something that is (completely unintentionally, of course) more extreme and abrasively avant-garde (again, unintentionally!) than i can recall happening in boy-band/girl-band pop or what we usually call MOR. that’s probably why there’s such an extreme reaction to these bands amongst even the coterie of teenage bloggers and youtube trolls. they aren’t just embarrassing in an N*Sync only-my-little-sister-listens-to-that-crap way; to anyone who’s not completely invested in the trendy signifiers that they splatter all pollock-like in these songs (”crunk”, drop-d chugging, dumb screaming, lazy autotune, fucking rave??) it sounds like music for insane people.
this article in the LA Times is a bit more coherent than i’m being: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2008/11/in-which-we-pon.html. remember that scene in ‘children of men’ where michael caine plays that death noise music? we’re not far from that …
42 Christian BC // Aug 4, 2009 at 11:12 am
That’s a really intriguing article (hey, maybe you should write for the LA Times), but it bothers me a bit. I think it’s fair to say that this band represents something of the age we live in and the culture of the internet, and it is fair to say that they are remarkable in the fact that they spawn such conversation, and certainly to hate them is to give them publicity which they don’t deserve, but I have this uneasy feeling that the writer slightly enjoys the band. Not musically, but because of all of these things they represent. Now, I’d be inclined to do the same, if I thought for one moment that these guys were doing this on purpose or in any calculated way. There’s not art to their intrigue. They represent the now and the internet culture so well, because they can’t see anything but that. They never sat down and said “Let’s parody the superficial, meme-infused, create-your-own-identity world we live in by making a band that is an amalgamation of all-things-internet.” All we have is groups of immature, untalented kids (or adults) trying to cash-in on current trends by throwing them all into a bag and seeing what comes out. The genius of it is that it appeals to multiple small groups, therefore creating a large fanbase. The idiocy of it is, none of it was planned that way, they just got lucky that people perceived their crap as art/music/good/talent/not punishable by death.
I’m not saying you mean any of that, and LA Times guy probably doesn’t either, but just in case he does, I wanna make sure he thinks twice. Because we all know he reads this blog, and more importantly, the comments.
43 Christian BC // Aug 4, 2009 at 11:26 am
hahahahahahaha.
ok, so after watching the brokeNCYDE video again, I feel like I should delete all my comments. They’re not even worth arguing against. What they are attempting to do, mix screamo and autotune party pop rap, could probably work if they weren’t so shitty at both. Now, I used to listen to lots of screamo and metalcore and all that crap, and even the worst of those bands, are better than this. Their was almost a craft to it. These guys seem like they had the idea, but couldn’t pull off either so they end up failing miserably. While most of the screamo stuff is always bad, there are plenty of sub-standard r&b and pop-rap songs that are still fun to listen to and catchy. If they could meld the best of both worlds together, then they might have something on their hands. And the video is so dorky. It’s like the only rap video they’ve ever seen was a MadTV sketch about a bad white rapper with a low-budget and then they tried to imitate that with a worse budget and worse rappers who were even whiter. And the “dancers” look like their sisters or some neighborhood girls that people sometimes mistake for junkyard dogs.
As for the Millionaires, they’re just another in the long line of Fergie/Lady Gaga rich girls trying to seem sexy and trashy after they listened to a FannyPack or Peaches song.
Then there’s those other two bands. And they’re the best. I hadn’t watched these videos yet, but when I did, I couldn’t stop laughing. I’m about 90% sure they are both joke bands. I mean, I’ve heard screaming, and that’s not it. And those bow-legged guys! No way that’s real. Confide and Attack! Attack! are two of the funniest bands I’ve ever seen or heard. I think they’re gonna be guests on Comedy Death-Ray Radio next week.
Also, I really love this post. It’s reawaken a beast inside me. And taught me how to laugh again.
44 Joel // Aug 4, 2009 at 12:34 pm
wow. i’ve taught you how to laugh again? how … utterly disprorportionate to the quality of this post! but i’ll take it.
i think the writer doesn’t so much like that they attempted to make this music as the fact that a “band” like brokeNCYDE exists in the first place. weird cultural fusions like that get music crit types off. it’s “interesting”.
also, the LA Times totally asked me to write for them but i told them, “hey, i don’t need any of your corporate hang-ups! i dance to my own drum, dig?” and i burned a photo of michael eisner in effigy and played bongos and smoked like 12 doobies.
also: “you liked screamo harhar ur so ghey”

@ rawritslexibitch: i’m very fascinated by this idea that “scene” is somehow a good thing. sure. those girls are scene to the max, man. no one’s denying their scene cred. they’re probably the most scene people in the world. they’ve got it all: eyeliner, some black clothes, no talent.

I would like to thank all of the previous posters here for entertaining me during a rainy day.
Question though, what the fuck is with the weird character encoding and cuss words? Is that a christian thing where spelling shit like $hî+ is somehow not a sin? Or am I old and thats the way kids are doing it now.
PS I don’t appreciate you knocking Seven Mary Three and Collective Soul. Their contributions to the cultural milieu of the nineteen-ninetys was invaluable and continues to inspire my feces and urine based artwork as well as provide me with some sweet karaoke.
55 Jason // Aug 7, 2009 at 2:34 pm

64 Dude // May 30, 2010 at 9:20 am
@Iamtheenemy He wrote it because it irks him to see what kind of music has been put out. As for the hatred of this kind of music being strictly from “mainstream idiots” who are apparently “musicly retarded” spellchecked as “musically” Just because someone differs slightly from what you like… doesn’t exactly make them retarded… Clearly the guy had a problem with Post-grunge garbage too…. And long before you were old enough to decide which shirt to wear, some of us were listening to Nirvana at GESCCO Hall when they were Skid Row… so chill on the Musically Retarded Mainstreamer nonsense… It seems like every new wave in music assumes the previous was all mainstream crap. The bands that this guy is paying homage too paved the way for ninety percent of the kids on Warped tour… Just like 70’s Punk paved the way for them… Chill.
65 Dude // May 30, 2010 at 10:15 am
@Joel Nice work man… definite diggs from me.
@”all of the what are you doing so great” posters… I think NOT selling reality for ’scene’ is good enough. If you wanna see real… hit your local clubs, walk into a hundred dollar recording studio, or catch the bands that work for years to make something truly they’re own. No copy/paste format. In twenty years, if you’re still rocking in your car to The Millionaires or ATTACK ATTACK! then maybe… MAYBE, you’ve got a point, in some minuscule way.
66 Kbreezy@Ahsoka Costume // Aug 20, 2010 at 6:48 am
The music this time is always about getting money, girls, and partying. It’s what people want and what’s “cool” in society
67 larry@ Dog The Bounty Hunter Costume // Aug 25, 2010 at 6:03 pm
This is a twisted time we live in. i personally dont listen to music about sex money party and rock n roll. i used too. now im getting older and like the mellow life.
68 Diva Costume // Aug 26, 2010 at 6:24 am
I will tell you what it comes down to… Parents and the lack of parental authority in a kids life. Most kids that listen to that garbage are in a rebellion state of mind.
I dont think they really know what they want other than the exact opposite of their parents. they want to fit into society and they want to be excepted by their peers (other rebelius teens) .
