Yeah: I am experiencing something over here. “Crunkcore” is pretty obviously not a scene I’m incredibly tapped into, so I’ll be relying on some Tumblr friends to correct me. But man: there are some 3OH!3 choruses that totally grab and fascinate me. You can even set aside the question of whether it’s likable or not, and just consider this: is this music not poking at the edges of something really important?

Just a bunch of “Blah Blah Blah,” no?

Crunkcore, I mean.

ALSO: should we be talking about Gorillaz as some sort of tangent here?

  10. trewartha answered: despite the cross-collaborations does Perry fit in this scene/sound. i like the crassness of it all, and I’m glad Cobra Starship have company
  11. andrewtsks answered: Brokencyde is awful, & I gave them benefit of doubt. 3oh3 makes more sense musically, I still dont dig. I didn’t like last 2 fob lps either.
  12. natepatrin answered: These are the times which try poptimists’ souls, basically.

    The answers to Nitsuh’s question are really interesting -...lot of NO JUST NO sentiment,...
  14. hardcorefornerds answered: oh wow, way to convince me not to like pop again. I thought crunkcore a la Brokencyde was terrible, in that it made crabcore look good.
  15. idegosuperid answered: Brokencyde is about as outright unlistenable as music can be. 3OH!3 is just benign.
  16. thecounterculture answered: 3oh3 is NOT crunkcore. Crunkcore= shitty rap (crunk) + screams (hardcore)
  17. invisibleidiot answered: I’m not interested in analysing this from an academic perspective, it’s just total, total shit. Badly written music regardless of genre.

    “Blah Blah Blah,” no? Crunkcore,
  20. neighborhoodthreat answered: no, 3oh3 are a fixation of scene kids, this has nothing to with hipsters but rather fauxsters and high schoolers who like cobra starship

  24. piercethenight answered: i think they actually call it “crabcore” don’t they? whatever that means.. it is a really interesting collision though
  25. airgordon answered: Check out Attack Attack! and Teen Hearts to get the full crunk/crabcore experience.
