[=brokeNCYDE=] are a band from New Mexico, generally regarded as the main band of the genre of {{Crunkcore}}; if you've heard a crunkcore band, chances are it's these guys.

* GirlOnGirlIsHot: According to "Freaxxx" (but don't get the wrong idea: these gentlemen assure us that they don't waste time with lesbians).
* IndecisiveParody: They have claimed ParodyRetcon in the past but now insist that they're totally serious about what they do. Add to the self awareness they have about their divisiveness and things just get even more confusing.

A band from New Mexico, their style incorporates elements of Crunk rap, Electronica and Screamo. One of the members controls the lights and fog machine. One is described as being in charge of "Lyrixxx/Screams/Gangster Raps." This could tell you everything you need to know, but it doesn't.

[=brokeNCYDE=] are generally regarded as the main band of the (relatively recent) genre of {{Crunkcore}}; if you've heard a crunkcore band, chances are it's these guys. They have one of the strongest {{Hatedom}}s in music today, but they also have a large fanbase, which sets the stage for quite a few [[FlameWar flame wars]].

* [[{{Garfunkel}} Antz]] - beats, fog machine, lights, backing vocals

* ArtifactTitle: The band's name, which means "broken inside", is a remnant from their [[{{Wangst}} more]] [[{{Emo}} pensive]] beginnings.

* {{Crunkcore}}: TropeMaker ''and'' GenreKiller, though your mileage could vary.

* IndecisiveParody: They have claimed ParodyRetcon in the past but now insist that they're totally serious about what they do.
** Add to the self awareness they have about their divisiveness and things just get even more confusing.

* TheLoad: Antz is the band's ''third'' backup vocalist, ''second'' beat maker and is also credited with, erm, working the fog machine and lights.

%%* TropeMaker ''and'' TropeCodifier: For crunkcore.
* XtremeKoolLetterz: One of their most popular songs is called "[=FreaXx=]".
** The band's name and the names of its members also count.

* CampStraight

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: They would be a 3-4 with relatively tame instrumentation, but the harsh vocals drive it up to a 5-6.

[[caption-width-right:345:When it comes to bands, [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative this is certainly one of them]].]]

[[caption-width-right:345:The band. Putting ''anything'' else here would result in a TakeThat against them.]]

The band was formed in 2006 by members Se7en and Mikl. They apparently named the band "Brokencyde" after coming up with an idea that the band's music was "fundamentally broken inside". They were later joined by members Phat-J and Antz. In 2008, they released their ''[=BC13=]'' EP, and in 2009 they released their debut album, ''I'm Not a Fan...But the Kids Like It!'', which was universally panned by critics (as well as the band's {{Hatedom}}, which is often said to be larger than their actual fandom).

* Se7en - screams, rapping

* HollywoodPudgy: Phat J is only fat [[NoodlePeople compared to the rest of them.]]

* OldShame: They regard their 2007 release "The Broken" as this.
* ParodyRetcon: Most people laugh when they hear Music/BrokeNCYDE started off their career as [[SeriousBusiness serious artists]]. But their first album, ''The Broken,'' is an entirely serious affair. Needless to say, that album is so hated, even Music/BrokeNCYDE's fans think it's utter garbage.

Lineup:

* DistaffCounterpart: To crunkcore GirlGroup {{Millionaires}}. They're actually friends with each other and have toured together on several occasions as well.

* NoseYodeling: The "clean vocals".

* XtremeKoolLetterz: One of their most popular songs is called "[=FreaXXX=]".

* FightFurYourRightToParty: The band's sort-of mascot Bree-Bree, who appears in the videos as someone in a pig fursuit. There was also a [[EverythingIsWorseWithBears bear]] in the "Teach Me How to Scream" video.

* NWordPrivileges: Like [[Music/GunsNRoses Axl Rose]], KidRock and a [[OldShame teenaged]] {{Eminem}}, they don't get them.

* EmoTeen

* {{Crunkcore}}: TropeMaker ''and'' GenreKiller.

* {{Hatedom}}: Brokencyde is one of the most hated bands on the internet. [[http://www.gigwise.com/photos/53029/19/The-20-Worst-Bands-of-the-2000s Music website Gigwise called them the second worst band of the 2000's]]. Most people find Se7en's {{screamo}} vocals incredibly offputting, and those that don't hate screamo tend to hate Mikl's {{autotune}} vocals.

* LampshadeHanging: The name of their first album (well, [[CanonDiscontinuity the first one that counts]]) is ''I'm Not a Fan, But the Kids Like It!''

* LoveItOrHateIt: While most people seems to strongly lean towards the last option, they do have have some fans who genuinely love their music. The video for "Freaxxx" on YouTube is almost 50:50 in likes and dislikes.

* {{Crunkcore}}: GenreLaunch ''and'' GenreKiller.
