Fuck brokeNCYDE. According to Jeps Mojo/Live Nation, Crabcore is the next big thing. And we agree.
Fuck brokeNCYDE and their shitty crunkcore. That’s totally 2009. 2010 is the year of crabcore. Crabcore? Yes. Crabcore. At the Eurosonic/Noorderslag conference, Jeps Salfischberger, metal-booker at Mojo a Live Nation company and someone who should know what’s coming up, told us. And we agree.
How it works? It’s really easy, Guardian UK learns us: Unlike all the other genres covered in this column, crabcore isn’t defined by sonics or BPMs or lyrical content, or tied to a geographic location. Crabcore is defined by the body contortions of the band’s guitarists when they perform. This is the lolloping crab-like stance (As you can see on top of this post) adopted while a guitar player shreds, and it’s not dissimilar to a sumo wrestler having extreme muscle spasms while readying themselves to engage with an opponent.
That said, you should now practice like we’re doing. We’re thinking about having a crabcore crab fishing contest during Incubate 2010, so you have to be the best by then. Good luck. Spread the word. And in the mean time, check out the practice video below by the godfathers of crabcore, Attack Attack!:
ps. We are really sorry for posting this in the “culture” category.

I’ll trust Jeps on his word, but it looks kinda ridiculous…

It’s not ‘Fuck Brokencyde’ from my side.
I love BC13. I totally digged their show at Lowlands 2009.
Last year I said it (crunkcore) would be the next ‘big’ thing. And it did. Somehow. Somewhere in a world where they accept this genre.
But you know how it is with mainland Europe. Things go slower.
So this year Brokencyde, and genre bands like I Set My Friends On Fire, Breathe Carolina and so on have made the big step to come play Europe.
With Attack! Attack! and the whole crabcore thing, it can be the same. I already tried to book them, but they turned down 2 Euro tours already.
So its possible that in a weird world like our music bizz is, it maybe possible that crunk will get ‘big’ in 2010, and Crabcore in 2011.
Although the two genres are pretty alike (for the less detailed hearing human being, who it all sounds like crap anyway), it can just happen they all explode (or implode) in 2010.
Anyway, I think all these genres are interesting as they bring genre’s together nobody has dreamed of before (or well, maybe in a nightmare).
The cool thing about hypes is: you love it or you hate it.
Like the mighty Yoda says in a galaxy far far away: Do or die, there is no try.
cheers
