Im Watching… Broke Inside
BrokNCYDE is a "crunkcore group formed in Albuquerque, New Mexico," the song in the video here is called FreaXXX. BrokNCYDE's 2009 album, I'm Not a Fan...But the Kids Like It was universally panned by critics. However the groups popularity amongst those kids, bolstered by the 2008 Youtube videos for the songs Bree, Bree and FreaXXX is something to be admired.
In 2008, generation of teenagers raised on Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers entered their mid-teen years with an eye towards expanding their tastes. Groups like Metro Station, whose lead singer is Miley Cyrus' half brother, Trace, and BrokNCYDE suddenly found themselves becoming really popular, really quickly.
The Apotheosis of Screamo
Where Metro Station remained decidedly pop-rock, BrokNCYDE was able to artistically channel this societal scream into a new fusion of pop, punk and "screamo" screaming vocals with masterful effect-- giving a voice to a new generation, even if it's not a voice critics or "grown downs," my term for the misnomer "grown ups," will necessarily like or can even accept.
Rock on my friends, rock on. The gauntlet has been thrust upon you now and it's now sink or swim. This ain't the 8th grade talent show anymore, so stop looking for your parents sitting in the audience, and step up to the fucking plate.
tl;dr
If you ever get a little sister, don't be afraid to ask your parents to kindly return it.
