HIPSTER RUNOFF

So fascinating how trends travel from America/Europe/Japan, and quickly spread into Mexico/South America. I never thought that screamo autotune would 'catch on' and tons of young bands would start screamo autotune sound projects. I remember 'emo' used to be big in Mexico, so maybe it is a natural evolution that post-emo screamo post-hardcore bands are 'catching on.' They just want to express their pain, and explore dark themes involving gore, death, loss, horrorcore, and La Dia De Los Muertos.

See My Fatal Trace might be my favourite international / Mexiwave / Tejano band. The bro dudes really rock, bringing hard rock emo guitars, chillwave synths, autotune singing, screaming, and thrash ass bang bang drumming.

Who is yalls fave member? Mine might be Javier, because his 'clean vocals' really take the band 2 the next level.' Clean vocals are really the 'make or break' element of screamo autotune. U need to have a twinky looking bro with swoopy bangs who can 'really nail it.'

I remember when Brokencyde came out, and autotune screamo became a meme that the whole internet could laugh at [link]. Really felt like Mexicalts/Altino had finally created a product that had truly 'belonged to them.'  Feel happy to be witnessing the birth of a new band/screamo meme band with a terrible, cheesy video that involves an ambulance, fake blood, and Am Appy hoodies.

Do yall know n e 1 who drives an ambulance that I can borrow for my music video? Seems like these bros are pretty authentic alts.

Really wonder if Brokencyde are the authentic forefathers of 'crunk crabcore screamo autotune'. Are they 'the same' as this new band, or are they more about 'partying' + 'getting crunk'?

Will Brokencyde be considered one of the most important Latino bands of all time, right next to Carlos Santana, Ricky Martin, Gloria Estefan, and

Not sure which band member I would want to be. Maybe the guitar bro with a star-studded guitar strap.

Might get a purple Am Appy hoodie and play electro synth.

Or I could even get a red Am Appy hoodie and be the drummer

Should Am Appy 'move out of the USA' and rebrand to Mexican Apparel, or maybe Mexican Merchandise [via consonance/alliteration] if they want to stay in business? Seems like there are huge markets to exploit there.

Just want to become one of the most influential crabcore bands in Mexican history. Want to travel to the Third World, show them crabcore, and create crabcore clinics where young, at-risk kids can learn how to express their pain+societal status frustration with the healing power of crabcore / autotune screamo.

Just wanna move 2 Mexico, start a chillwave band. Feel like it might be easier to break into international markets, ripping off sounds that already exist in the English-speaking indie scene.

Do yall <3 See My Fatal Trace?
Is See My Fatal Trace way more authentic than Brokencyde?
Do u <3 music that involves yelling and autotune wailing?
Is Tejano / Mariachi wave dead? Will young Hispanics and Latinos identify with this music more than traditional Latin music?
Is there a 'new Latin Invasion' happening in America? [via screamo autotune]
Can I call these bros "hermanos" instead of "bros"?
Should See My Fatal Trace do a Spanish cover of 'Such Great Heights'?

Will this screamo autotune genre replace autotune?
What's the difference between 'screamo' and 'crabcore'?
R u a hardcore bro? Are these Mexi bros 'posers'/inauthentic screamo bros?
Does 'the scene' seem way more authentic in Mexico?
Should I move out of Brooklyn and buy a loft in the heart of Mexico's alt scene?

Hey look, it is the popular mexi alt screamo crunk wave band BROKENCYDE. Kinda miss them. Wish they could be integrated more into rave culture. Do yall remember when the popular 2k9 meme which was Brokencyyde's hit anthem "FREAXX" hit the internet? Every1 in the high level indie blogosphere was making fun of it, because it mashed up numerous low-end genres. Screamo, emo, crunk, hiphop, horrorcore, and anything else that the poor/uneducated/young/impressionable end up listening to. We all 'laughed at it' as we gawked at Brokencyde's interpretation of the world.

Many claimed that this was just a strategic internet meme, and there was no real band behind this brilliant anthem about 'getting freaky.' However, there is actually a Brokencyde, and they have a core group of fans who show up 2 their shows. Do yall know if there is a difference between 'emos' and 'scene juggalos' and 'nightmare before Christmas Teens' and 'Hot Topic bros'? Is there an official word for an African American emo / juggalo / scene person? Not sure what the deal with those neon troll feet is. Would probably just wear lace up converse shoes to 'get my dance on' without worrying about walking in puddles of water Fuzzle wuzzle feet Wonder if ur parents drop u off like that, or do u bring a lil bag with ur zany accessories to change into while ur waiting in line? Really miss the era of myspacers worth blogging about [via OMG WTF] Should I turn my Green Day tshirt into a bikini? Here's some more Brokencyde just so u can vibe out to some crunk haus while u read this post.

Looks sorta like an ethnic version of the Crystal Castles album cover. Scared of this mexi alt. Worried abt his eye balls / retinas READ MORE SCENE JUGGALO CONTENT

In 2009, all we will want 2 do is have a lil fun. Authentic fun. The kind of fun that can only be embodied by a song that is accessible to females from age 7 to 72. Hot women will be kind of fair, but kind of 'saucy' in a 'mystic drifter' kind of way. In 2k9, the synthesizer market will crash, and we will see the acoustic guitar market explode.

XX BONUS CRUNKCORE COVERAGE XX

Gonna miss u when u r just a meme from 2k8, Brokencyde. At least they made the Mexican peoples of the world proud.
Worried that music will sound Crunkcore in 2k9 :-(

When I think of MexicAlts, I think of a lost group of peoples. I think of a group of minority alternatives who have trouble analyzing the modern tools of personal branding. I think of a brown skinned man who has not stepped in the sun in years, with his eyes torn out, standing in the middle of a mall. His hair is not of his natural colour. He may or may not be a cartoon character [via Anime]. He is able to forge his identity using 'alternative stores' within this mall. This results in the implementation of a Hot Topic-ish personal brand.

Mexicalts are not sure who they are. They are attached to who they were, and very interested in forging their future identity based upon who they were. This often leaves their personal brand with a very weird state. They are a walking pupu platter of what trends have been 'hot' in the past 5-10 years.

While this video has already gone viral in a 'wtfrotflmao' kind of way, I think it will live on forever as the meme/art that finally expressed who the Mexicalt people finally art. The song is a masterpiece, mixing genres in a way that shits down upon the golden era of rap+rock [Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, etc]. The video features all brands of Mexicalts, searching for an present identity without losing touch with 'who they were.' The music and their personal brands are beautiful, but u might only feel that way if are working on a thesis called 'The State of the Modern Mexican American (Born after 1985 [in the internet era])--MillenialMexis, Myspace, and a Shifting Cultural Zeitgeist | Throwing Away Previous Cultural Standards in an Effort to Fit In + Express Themselves.'

AltinosMexicalts consist of the following:

Is n e thing missing from 'what makes a Mexicalt?'

Do u know n e Mexicalts will ever reach 'authentic alt' status?
Or will they forever be in the late adopter/laggard group, targeted by alternative apparel companies who are looking for a brand loyal group of consumers?

Who do I want 2 b and how does my cultural background influence the person I am capable of being?
Will there ever be a Mexi President? ///////////////
