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]

[edit] 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]

[edit] 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]
