brokencyde

We try to keep a positive vibe here at The Rathaus, but trolling the internet for interesting posts can sometimes lead to sudden fits of pessimism. Because everyone once and awhile you come across something so outrageously terrible that you're left with no recourse other then to rant about it. The catalyst this time around is a garish suburban musical culture, and in particular two bands that exemplify its tone. So hold up your Grey Goose bottles, stick out your pouty, pierced lips and prepare your ears for the bros of BrokeNCYDE and the ladies of Millionaires.

To describe what these bands do is difficult. You'll think it's an elaborate joke or that they're acting in a musical performance art piece, but sadly this haphazard combination of recycled Lil' Jon beats, auto-tuned vocals and Hot Topic wardrobe is actually considered music by a segment of the population. And there are others that share this obnoxious aesthetic, all of which make great use of numerous internet tools available to shamelessly promote their work. These kids are all over MySpace with their painful graphics and ridiculous hairdos, however, finding an actual musician amongst the lot is a tough task.

millionaires

Somebody had to write the lyrics of course, and that is an art form, but pretty much any 14-year-old with a fifth of schnapps has spewed lines similar to BrokeNCYDE's "I'M SO FUCKED UP! I'M SO BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH! WHAT THE FUCK! I'M SO FUCKED UPPPPP!...," but what else would one expect from a song called "2 Drunk." Millionaire's lyrics are also fixated on alcohol abuse but in relation to the gratuitous sexual exploits that result there after, like in their single "Just Got Paid, Let's Get Laid." Previous bands, punk and otherwise, have expressed their passion for getting messed up while looking for some lovin' but the successful ones are at least musically interesting or will contain poetic lyrics, say for example Guns and Roses' "Mr. Brownstone," Elliot Smith's entire discography, first wave punk rock and 90's alternative rock. Neither BrokeNCYDE nor Millionaires seem interested in thinking about or even editing their lyrics.

There is stuff out there with equally juvenile, offensive lyrics, or with egregious overuse of autotune, or even with a totally predictable, boring beat that is still fun to listen to. The problem is BrokeNCYDE and Millionaires are just every kind of suck all at once, preformed for you by people who remind us that our public education system may be failing. Fun fact to consider, the word "brokencyde" is defined in the urban dictonary as "The act of having a penis inserted into your ear." Getting a "brokencyde" might be the only thing worse than listening to the music of BrokeNCYDE and Millionaires.

But don't take our word for it. Check out both of these cultural treasures by viewing some videos below, or click on the links to their MySpace pages to hear even more songs! If you're super into it, go buy yourself a ticket to the Warped Tour when it comes near you, both BrokeNCYDE (the band not the penis ear thing) and Millionaires, along with more awesomeness than you can imagine, will be there ready to "play music" for you.

    I couldn’t agree more. It’s sad to see what is considered music at this point in time. MySpace has ruined the music industry right now. You don’t have to be talented or have some decent tunes to make it, you just have to look the part and have a huge friends list, and BOOM! You’re a pop star! No talent necessary!

    I’ve inadvertently seen brokencyde at a large east coast festival. Yes, it’s terrible, mindless, mysogynistic and inexplicably popular. However, for every confused teenager going apeshit for the band, there were probably three slightly less confused teenagers flipping them the bird and complaining about how awful they were.

    First off, Sabbath was 60s…every song AC/DC made sounds the same…and lastly def leppard isn’t a band you should use if you’re trying to claim you listen to good music. If the drummer can lose his arm and still play the music, it’s obviously too easy to play.
    Why would this music keep you off drugs? It’s lyrics about getting “fucked up”? That’s like saying Snoop or Bob Marley kept you from doing weed because it chilled you out. They can’t sing to save their lives, they require autotune, they can’t rap for shit, and that kid’s screamo definitely doesn’t match the genre. Brokencyde is a bootleg version of Hollywood Undead, who actually do make decent songs. The only thing the Millionaires have to offer to society is their underage orifices.

    That song from millionaires wasnt the greatest, but they do have some talent. As for brokencyde they have a bunch of songs that may sound crappy but its because they’re making fun of the rest of the shitty music that exists out there. ie. The new “rap” which it cant even be called rap like lil wayne. You want to complain about music listen to his shit. It sounds like they stabbed a baby and recorded it with a beat, and he has shit lyrics. If you actually listen to brokencydes songs they do have some good songs with good lyrics and are just good all around. At least they’re original for the most part. How many bands do you know of that are a screamo rap band? Can’t name many can you? The truly shit music is the crap that the corporate people force out. Like britney spears’ new garbage. Or theres always country, which just sounds like some inbred hick flossing his teeth with a banjo string while some other inbreed complains about how his wife left because he was fucking his mom and how his dog even left him and his piece of shit ford truck fell apart.

    okay well I have to agree that the millionaires kinda blow and are really annoying but brokencyde is a really good band. and the sexual content is thrown around everwhere just like alcohol. Hello sex drugs and rock and roll and if you have such a problem dont listen to them that easy. You want to keep it postive but yet you know that you made funof them and said nothing nice, youre a fucking idoit and you just want to start a problem , you dont like them thats great, it shows that you have nothing better to do but to make a web site making fun of good bands,

    Wow, I heard they were bad, but I didn’t think it was this bad. That Millionaires video looks like a Saturday Night Live sketch making fun of dumb bitches. Is this the state of the music industry? Whatever. And making fun of bad rappers….good excuse. “Music is shitty today so I’m gonna copy it to make fun of it.” Smart. Puh leeze. All the kids who like this music either have horrible taste or are under 15. If you’re under 15, you still have hope. If you have horrible taste, please kindly do the world good and stay at home…listening and drowning in this crap.

NO! So quite with this judgeing bullshit and let your kids express themselves…

    September 25, 2009 at 3:25 pm

    Well.. I was forced into listening to Brokencyde by my cousin.. and Millionaires sound like a bunch of hoes that found a few musical instruments and threw it together. I don’t really like either band or the genre. Things these days have no value or diversity in it. If you like the shit, go ahead. Personally I prefer Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique, Journey, System of a Down, etc. ;)

    Brokencyde and millionaires have pieces of crap songs. That guys’ screamo does not go with any of the songs. it’s just a pointless affect. A lyrical fucking genius would use different words to decribe the same thing while these to loser bands say it over and over again. Millionaires are plain annoying. I can’t understand how people can actually listen to them. their song isn’t even memorable that’s how much they suck. Anyone could write a song about sex and alcohol it’s not that hard.

  26. Kaylee says:
    November 27, 2009 at 9:24 pm

    BrokeNCYDE is amazing! I love love love them. I know almost all of their songs by heart. I mean keep in mind Im 14 and into that kinda of screamo music.

    As for the “Millionaires” well as for them they’re just annoying as hell. I mean really I got threw 14 seconds of their song and had to shut it off. I think my dog even whimpered at them. FAIL.

    Now before people start throwing bitch fits I do listen to a lot of other music. Slipknot, Korn, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, AC/DC, Alice in Chains, but I still love BrokeNCYDE.

    Millionaires&brokeNCYDE are just fun party music. It’s no harm. I have parties at my house every so often, and this is the type of music kids like to dance to. It’s not real music to me personaly, but its just fun to listen to and to piss parnets off with. :]
    The lyrics are bad, yes, but kids have fun singing it. Its funny to us. Kepp in mind, i am a 15 year old kid, and i love a good party.
    Plus both the Millionaires&brokeNCYDE are hottt.[yes, im bi]
    So, let us have our fun, and yall listen to yall’s music.
    Thanks :]

    Lol alrighty people, this music isn’t “good”, but I enjoy listening to it. My top favorite songs are Freaxx by Brokencyde, Cello Suite by Yo Yo Ma, Lucy in the Sky – Beatles, In da Club – bennie bassie, and all of Apocalyptica. I listen to everything, well besides country.. I play violin too. I know good music from bad. But do I listen to them both? I sure do. For entertainment. That’s all this is. Who cares if you don’t like it? nobody
    We can be smart and listen to crappy music. Doesn’t mean we do drugs.

    I can’t tell if the fans of this shit are actually posting their opinions, or if there are a lot of really skilled trolls here.

    I think it’s funny that the people that are opposed to this type of music express their opinions logically and give reasons why they don’t like it, and the “ZOMGFANZZ” of this shit just hide behind some kind of rebellious parental advisory “juss cauz u dutn lik it dotn meen i cant have 2″ grammatical assassination type excuse.

    Maybe if one of them presented a reasonable case for WHY it’s good, and not just abuse my eyes with spelling errors, and sms type abbreviations then i might… who am i kidding, i don’t care if they were english majors from caimbridge.

    I will never, ever, purposefully expose myself to this noise.

    SEE EMO KIDS, I AM DISREGARDING YOUR OPINION AND GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN JUST LIKE YOU! I ALSO DON’T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK OF ME! DOES THAT MAKE US SOOPR BROOTL FREENDZEEZ 4LYFE AND EVAEVA AFTR??? I AM ALSO SPELLING WERDZ RONG AND UZING THE NUMBRZ WHERE I SHUD UZE WERDZ!

    wow all you people do is hate on brokencyde like really im tired of going into school and people saying the same thing to me everyday becuz i like them. Like damn if you dont like them then dont listen to them end of story. I dont like the Millionaires there annoying with there little high piched whatever. But you still dont have to make a website outof hate of them. If you do then you people have no lives. Brokencydes songs are really good if you just sit there and take the time to listen to there whole songs then maybe you will like them. I bet half of you people just listened to the begging and stopped well then your missing out on good music.

  33. Christian says:
    February 28, 2010 at 10:38 pm

    Alright, I don’t want to be one of those guys that starts internet fights or anything, but there are some things that need to be addressed. First, I am not a fan of the “crunkcore” genre. Yes, it has somehow become a less popular genre than electronica (what the hell is electronica, anyway?). However, if we examine the roots of modern music, one will notice that when rock and roll was born… it wasn’t received well by a majority of the community. This is both a glimmer of hope for those who enjoy things like Brokencyde and Dot Dot Curve, and for the rest of us, well, we just hang our heads.

    Now, I’m not one to listen to 30 seconds of one song by any band and automatically condemn them. So (against my better judgment) I listened to the entire discography of Brokencyde and Millionaires. Here’s my analysis: First of all, I have no problem with screaming vocals. Second of all, I have no problem with explicit lyrics or lyrics about drugs or alcohol. Honestly, that’s what makes it rock and roll in the first place… It’s the way it’s presented that I have trouble with. They don’t use clever ways to describe their sexual exploits. Someone referenced AC/DC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long.” Very good, a song that’s definitely about sex. But they do not use lyrics like “You make my pee-pee hard,” as heard in Brokencyde’s “Sex Toys.” The original article here said it best: it’s just every kind of suck all at once.

    If you’re into this stuff, more power to you, but it honestly makes Hinder look like musical geniuses. I have never hated a genre of music as much as I hate this one. Not even grindcore (and let’s be honest, grindcore was pretty terrible. Good thing that died before the end of the 90s).

    Okay, now I have stated this opinion in a clear, logical form. I would really like for someone to counterpoint it (intelligently. If you’re just going to say something like “Dayum! Brokencyde is fuckin legit!! dey r hardcore screamo shit!!” then please, don’t reply. Just turn on your crunkcore and walk away.

    Oh wow, you people. There are bands like this and then there are bands not like this. Just because you listen to it doesn’t mean you don’t have self respect or that you drink and do drugs. I didn’t like BrokenCyde at first but now I love them. I think the mix of techno/hip hop paired with screamo is very unique. (If it’s not, it is to me because it was the first time I had heard anything like this.) I also find the lyrics just fun and completley out there, they are daring and don’t care what others think obviously and I look up to that. I think the screaming in it is fantastic, because think of how long it took for them to learn that. Plus I think screaming in music is a great way to show passion through the song. For the Millionares though, I have no words to say I don’t like them at all.

    They’re really just terrible. I thought brokeNCYDE were a MadTV spoof or a performance piece the first time I saw them. They can’t play, they can’t sing, they can’t rap, they can’t scream in key, they can’t write songs, and they plagiarize other people’s beats. As someone who spent years learning to play several instruments, I find their musical ineptitude deeply offensive and generalized lyrical stupidity appalling.

    Listen, you can write about drinking or sex all you want, but try and be a bit more articulate about it. The Bloodhound Gang were easily as offensive, but they varied their lyrics and were thus funny (and could play OK). Ditto Kottonmouth Kings who basically made a career out of loving Pot. Plus their MC wasn’t that bad. They also didn’t have hair out of the Final Fantasy series like borkeNCYDE

    ICP are close to being in the same territory as brokeNYDE, what what the makeup and generally stupid image and bad music, but sadly I think they’re better, too. They can’t play either, but they have a song are two that border on listenable where they rap over someone else’s music.

    I’ve really just never heard of a band this technically awful get a deal. I imagine they must be terrible live.

    The guy doesn’t even scream with the beat. He’s not even vaguely in key. I mean in death metal the guys are on the beats and at least it’s mostly heavily distorted power chords off the minor or pentatonic minor scale so it doesn’t sound quite so ridiculous when it’s off key.

    Fyi, if you’re wondering, you can bark in key, see Tom Waits (uncanny, really, when you listen to him) or the guy from Amon Amarth. I’m not overly fond of the death metal genre, but a lot of those death metal bands have talented musicians.

    Emo never had anyone that I can think of with an awareness of rhythm or bass (which makes it a bad mashup with rap which is not just rhythm driven, but bass heavy), except maybe Jimmy Eat World and Face to Face (a lot of people say they’re more hardcore than emo, though). IMO, it comes from the abundance of arpeggios early in the genre (Jawbreaker, Jets to Brazil, Get-Up Kids). So what happens is that you get something like this – it’s not a genre mash-up. It’s a guy screaming over the beat in bad crunk music.

    The sad thing is, pretty much everyone defending this music is grammatically retarded.
    BrokeNCYDE (Or “BC13″, whatever you want to call them) are, admittedly, horrific. They make my ears bleed. Then again, so does all screamo. I’d probably like them otherwise.
    And Millionaires? Jeez. Get a grip. They’re 21 and under, they’re in it because they can be and they’re good at what they do. You only hate them because you hate the genre and the kids.
    Suck it up, and move on.
    Or move off myspace. Do whatever, no one really cares.

    About half the brokencyde and Millionaires fans start their paragraphs with “Fuck Off” they are a horrible representation for the fanbase. Every band has critics so before you tell people to grow up learn to live with it. Also “Haterz?” You think anyone will ever consider taking you seriously if you say “Haterz” and you wonder why the Brokencyde and Millionaires fan base is hated so much.

  40. CrunkSoldier says:

    I’m gonna be honest. I love this band for only one reason. The only reason is because I get drunk to this stuff. THAT IS IT. Other wise this band is a fucking disgrace. And to all these scene bopping little fairy pricks honestly if you think this is the future of music please put a bullet through your head.

    Ear rape at it’s best. Faggots with retarded haircuts, autotune and a retard fanbase consisting of 15 year old girls, bi sexual wannabees and well about anyone retarded enough to listen to garbage lyrics.

    How to make it big in the music industry?

    1. Go on myspace
    2. Grow long, uneven hair
    3. Buy autotune
    4. Get some instruments (don’t worry, talent isn’t needed here and you don’t need any prior expirience)
    5. Lyrics must be of either pain, sex or demon parents who abuse their fanbase with daily chores and taking out trash.
    6. Optional, insert lyrics about losing a first love (rejected/dumped lulz)
    7. Release to public
    8. ???
    9. Profit

    Just have to say THIS BAND IS THE GAYEST SHIT I’VE EVER LISTENED TO. Inow, before people send me hate, i used to be a part of the ‘scene’ wearing drop dead clothes, bright coloured skinnies, scene hair and listened to bands such as this. But unlike you dumb fucks i realised this shit is horrid, it’s all about fucking your body up through varuious drugs and alcohol, the scream is shit, autotunr shit, beats shit. You want music? Listen to Minor Threat, Parkway Drive, I Killed The Prom Queen, 50 Lions, Bad Religion and other hardcore bands. BTW scene kidzzz getting drunk and shit gets you no where, i mean it works, you can’t type properly, it’s to not 2. Get an education.xxx

  45. Haha oh wow says:
    August 3, 2010 at 4:40 pm

    The fans wonder why we hate these bands, when half of them couldn’t spell their way out of a paper bag.

    Seriously, get an education and stop listening to shit music.

    Uhhm I love millionaires, in some ways they show confidence and isen’t that what everygirl needs? Yeeah sure it might be a negtive way but who fucking cares. Millionaires ate the shit. They sing about what goes on. They aren’t afraid to say “hey I drink and get laid” they don’t have to have there shit recorded backwards to get the message across. && so you might hate it but we love it. Who are you people to judge? Oh, I forgot you
    all think your perfect and frown upon drinking and having a good time and getting laid. Well you know what, Sex is natural and alcohol is legal. They aren’t underaged.
    They are perfectly grown up and if you have a problem with it then don’t
    allow your fucking kids to listen to it(around you atleast..). Don’t you remember being youngg? So when millionaires for your opinion, please share but unilateral then take hop of my dick please thank you.

    By the way, they might be overage but i highly doubt most of the ‘scenefag’ demographic is about 13, and before you say ‘you dk wat ur talkinzzzz bouts niggz!!?’ i’m 16 and not a fucking dumb scene follower, you want real music listen to tru shit like Thrice, Rites Of Spring, The Used, Minor Threat and real music. Just coz you can say shit over a shitty beat doesn’t make it music.

    Oh and pretty sure i know i’m not perfect but i’m not an obnoxioys cunt who thinks everyone loves them and their mad hair and hello kitty tee. Grow the fuck up, hello kitty is for 6 year olds not fucking wannabe scene cunts, what is the ‘scene’ i mean there’s local hardcore ‘scenes’ around here but lots of those in the ‘scene’ hate brokencyde and spastics like that, so explain that to me twat :P
