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

6The 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).

25!!Brokencyde provide examples of:
26
27* ArtifactTitle: The band's name, which means "broken inside", is a remnant from their more pensive beginnings.
28%%* CampStraight
29* DistaffCounterpart: To crunkcore GirlGroup Music/{{Millionaires}}. They're actually friends with each other and have toured together on several occasions as well.
30* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Their first release, ''The Broken'', sounds like a different band entirely. The music is softer, there's a lot more rapping, and the lyrics are more downbeat and personal than the hedonistic songs that the band are now known for.
31* EmoTeen: Earlier days anyway. But for the most part, they lean towards the "Scene" fashion, still keeping the "emo swoop" bangs, piercings and tattoos, while wearing bright and fashionable kinds of clothes.
32* FightFurYourRightToParty: The band's sort-of mascot Bree-Bree, who appears in the videos as someone in a pig fursuit. There was also a {{bear|sAreBadNews}} in the "Teach Me How to Scream" video.
33* GirlOnGirlIsHot: "Freaxxx" opens with the band looking at two women making out and having sex in the club. Despite this, a line later in the song claims that they "don't waste time with lesbians".
34* IndecisiveParody: They have claimed to be a parody 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.
35* 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!'' And then there's "Guilty Pleasure"...
36* XtremeKoolLetterz:
37** The band's name is "broken inside" but spelled oddly.
38** One of their most popular songs is called "[=FreaXx=]".
