Universal Conquest Wiki. Background Information. Crunkcore [1] [2] [3] [4]. Break Silence. Your penny-sized gauges glimmer in the light like smooth beach glass poking out of sand. However, even a rawring monstrosity like myself thought I was way too based for Brokencyde. For every negative article Brokencyde accumulated in the early s, there are now just as many tweets lovingly comparing them to the electronic pop duo gecs — an act who, like Brokencyde, combine auto-tuned pop with hip-hop, metal and electro beats.
However, when Brokencyde were breaking out in the lates, they were navigating completely uncharted territory. It was like reading from the Lambgoat comment section in the booth with DJ Paul: two entirely different worlds colliding in the time of Myspace.
It was as if they were in direct conversation with the pop zeitgeist, taunting it with their jarringly crass lyrics and screamed deliveries. But, as it turns out, these were earnest nods to a realm of music they always aspired to cross into.
Brokencyde were outsiders in the Warped Tour scene, which was largely associated with white suburban rebellion and middle-class mall culture. Shea and Gallegos, both of hispanic descent, grew up in poverty and ingrained in hip-hop culture.
Every album of theirs to this date has a "Explicit Content" warning on the cover due to suggestive lyrics and swearing. But when they started to disrespect a girl and us as people, it changed everything. People have opinions and we respect them. We never let it get physical—we don't like violence.
We're really nice guys and love everyone and respect all artists. What made it escalate was them disrespecting our merch girl and us as people. If the tables were turned, people would be praising these guys for beating us up. It's a double standard for us because of our name and the music we make.
It's really unfair. Were moving forward while Muro is sadly using this as a way for his band to benefit from the hate we already have.
No one was jumped; the rest of it was a shoving match to break it up.
