So, my friend at school, who loves this kind of music (More towards the end than in the beginning), told me to look up this band called Attack Attack!. I said okay, and last night, I went on YouTube, searched the name, and this video comes up called Stick Stickly...First off, I was just saying to my self, "What the hell kind of song name is that?" I then watched the video, and I thought the beginning parts were okay, until I saw this:

anigif_crabcore-18169-1247068581-9_preview.gif


I then proceeded to fast forward to a random part of the video, and it was this weird, synth-filled part with auto-tuned vocals. I was almost going to call my friend and call him a *insert word for deranged person that likes bad music here*, but I figured I'd just blog about it on GBAtemp in the morning (Since my house was too cold at the time to even leave from under my blankets).

And in case you don't understand what I meant by crabcore, it's a term (Very commonly know to music listeners too, apparently) that describes what the band members do, which in this case, is basically tea-bagging the ground and looking like a crab at the same time.

So, discuss if you want, or just feel free to wonder "WHY SUCH BAD MUSIC!?!?!?!!" like I am.

Well unfortunately we are in a era of awful music. I refuse to listen to stuff like this or many things mainstream because they suck. They dont' care about music, they just want money, they make up the most trendy, catchy shit that will get people to like them and then they will disappear.

If I could continue to make music I like and never make it big I will be happy because I know my stuff is ten times better than that shit because my music has meaning and isn't for money.


FUCK MAINSTREAM AND TRENDS

Wait, I just realized your name is TDWP FTW, doesn't that stand for "The Devil Wears Prada For The Win"? If so, thats like the same exact shit as this stuff, its just all trendy metal and it sucks ass.

I wouldn't call TDWP all trendy, but some of their songs partially are (You Can't Spell Crap Without "C", and a few others), but I like them because they don't follow the mainstream ways of metal bands auto-tuning their clean singer's voice, or trying to come up with a new fad...Plus I think they sound good (They can incorporate synth and make it sound good, unlike a lot of other bands, as well as come up with lyrics that actually have a meaning to them, which I like).

Also, I like music where you can distinguish one instrument from another, instead of music where it's all jumbled together and sounds like a 2-year-old produced it.

I just listened to their new single on my "On Demand" channel and I have to say, they are as trendy as it comes. They have songs structures like the all the rest of them. They go from really hard screaming and stuff to really whiny ass singing that is the most god awful annoying I have ever heard.

And how can you say their songs have meaning? Their song sames are called stuff like "HTML Rulez d00d", if I am not mistaken, that has no meaning whatsoever...

Listen to stuff like this that is good and has actual meaning:

fuck the mainstream bullshit... my whole band is like "fuck the mainstream, we'll never turn into them!" and at the same time i'm the only one who wouldn't ever sign on to a corporate label or a play with any random big band "just to get our name known" - and by any random big band, i mean ANY: even if we were offered to open for some shitty pop-rock band i'd be the only one to refuse.

anyways, underground metal ftw

Yeah, thats basically like me only not as bad XD. I admit it all the time, my band that I am in is kinda trendy but we are different from most because we only have some elements of the trendy stuff. I am like you though, I'm always like "Kyle, if we ever sign to Victory Records or something, I'm out, I refuse to be on the same record label as a bunch of trendy stupid dumbass bullshit bands."

By the way, I never listened to Neuraxis before, their pretty damn good.

Why are you all so serious?
I mean, I listen to good metal (pantera, black sabbath, opeth, between the burried and me (dunno if thats really metal btw, but its similair to opeth imo) etc.)

But I also like these kinds of bands, Emarosa, devilwearsprada, attackattack, dance gavin dance, etc.
And even stuff like daft punk, justice and gorillaz..

What's the problem with this "New" music? It sounds catchy and good..

Well, some of them do. I like "trendy metal" because it sounds good to me, and every person has their own tastes.

I'm serious about it because it makes a bad name for metal. When people are like "What type of music you listen?" I'm like "Mostly metal, but I listen to a lot of other things also." (Which I really do, I love a bunch of styles.) So they are like, "Oh so you listen to stuff like Bring Me The Horizon and The Devil Wears Prada and stuff?" I am like "... No, I listen to metal. That stuff is shit."

It seems everything is being ruined these days, radio used to be good until shitty new bands took it over and rap took it over. Now they have to take over Metal and make is shitty too.

Dammit, there's more than one type of metal...Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean you should go around bashing it like Mario does to blocks (Which is a whole fucking lot). I don't sit there and say, "Opeth is the scourge of all humanity" or "All black metal bands can die in a big fire" now do I? No, because I can actually accept other peoples' opinions, instead of automatically saying that those bands suck, without any reasoning besides *insert vague reason here*, which in your case, is that they are trendy.

Also, I hate BMTH...And don't say they sound like TDWP, because they don't.

I respect peoples opinions too, I am just stating mine. My opinion is that this "new" metal is 1.) Extremely shitty, trendy, just for money 2.) Ruining metal.

And I know people listen to it and like it because some of my best friends like TDWP also, and I feel sorry for them that they don't know what real metal is.

How do you know all bands do it for money? That's a pretty arrogant statement. When and if I get into the Game Development industry, I won't be making games JUST for money...I will be doing it because that's what I do for fun. I love developing video games, just like some bands love making music. And what is real metal in your opinion? Music that consists of bands whose members wear black/white make-up, dance around in forests, and sing about Satan (The singers sound like they are constipated for crying out loud!)? Sorry if I sound rude, but you do as well.
