Crunkcore (also called screamo crunk,[1] crunk punk[2], and scrunk[3][4]) is a musical genre that combines elements of screamo with elements of crunk.[3]
Reception
Crunkcore has been heavily criticised by music magazines such as Kerrang!, who called it "possibly the worst genre of music ever created."[1]
The Boston Phoenix described it as "a combination of minimalist Southern hip-hop, Auto-Tune croons, techno breakdowns, barked vocals, and party-til-you-puke poetics."[3]
John McDonnell, writing for The Guardian, said that crunkcore "sounds like a Chamillionaire track performed by a teenage Slipknot tribute band." He closed the article with "Oh God. I've suddenly come to my fucking senses. What was I thinking? [Crunkcore] is the worst thing to happen to music since Katie Melua's "Nine Million Bicycles" in Beijing."[4]
List of crunkcore bands
Bands considered to be crunkcore include Brokencyde[3][4], 3OH!3[3][5], Millionaires,[3][5] Breathe Carolina,[1][5] Hollywood Undead,[5] I Set My Friends On Fire,[5] and Family Force 5.[6]
