Crunkcore (also called screamo crunk,[1] crunk punk[2], and scrunk[3][4]) is musical genre that combines screamo with crunk.[3]
Critical 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], Millionaires[3] and Family Force 5.[5]
