CRAZY CRAZY AWESOME AWESOME ARE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE HUNGRY HUNGRY

 Tuesday, March 15th, 2011 at 3:30pm by

Metal Injection claims that the below video, for Christian screamo-crunk outfit Crazy Crazy Awesome Awesome’s “My Town,” is the worst of the year, and while I think it might be a little early to be giving away that title, yeah, it’s definitely awful — like, “I dare you to get through the entire thing” awful. (But you should get through the entire thing, because it somehow gets worse when the girl starts to rap. I’m not saying girls can’t rap, mind you, I’m just saying that this girl should get a job at Starbucks.)

I was intrigued, however, by the group’s pledge on their YouTube page for the video: “For each album this band sells, they donate in the amount that will feed 2 starving children for a day.” Which begs the question – to whom do they donate that money? They don’t say, and I can’t help but notice that they’re vowed to feed TWO starving kids, which seems like an arbitrary number, until you consider that there’s TWO members of the band… hmm… starving children, eh?

        made it through the whole thing, but just like with 2G1C, that’s not really an achievement

        • Chainsword

          You made me shudder, reminding me of 2g1c

        • SourDeez

    If i was their father, id beat them in the mouth with my shoe till they didnt have any teeth left.

    • Dirtman73

      Would that shoe be on or off your foot? Cuz on the foot would be much more effective.

    Starving for attention. This is why I think lesbian hipster girls should have no rights and it should be mandatory for them to be sterilized.

    This may be one of the worst things I have ever heard, it’s so trendy I won’t insult music by calling it that.

  • Wray

    I wish lung cancer on anyone involved with both this video and band.

  • C W

    What the hell are you guys hating on them for. THAT SHIT WAS DOPE.
    You mad brah?

    • lulwut

      Leave the trolling to the pros. Psh, Fucking amature

  • Gecko

    Autotune and bad music. The tradition continues.

    And for the worst song of the year, I offer you this…

      She says “Fun” four times in a row, but that doesn’t make it true.

    • Loïc Charlier

      Dude, you made my day…
      I’m not sure whether it’s the musical complexity, the acting and directing talent showcased in the videoclip or the emotional impact of her thought provoking and deeply philosophical lyrics but boy o boy…. someone call the grammy police

    • Ron Deuce

      Sounds like the rough draft of her shitty lyrics made the final cut.

    • thepenismightier

      Didn’t even get past ten seconds into that one.

  • http://web.me.com/metalshea metalshea

    THIS is popular?? THIS?? Autotuned screams????? I hope to god this isn’t the new Nu Metal because my head will pop.

    Also… which one is the girl? I thought I heard male vocals, but they both look like women!!

    Its better if you have the lyrics

    CHORUS

    Im talking calling out my style

    Getting Crunk

    Riding dirty

    With my homies at my side

    Staying fresh up in my crib(Holla)

    Showing how I roll in my hood fo sho’

    cuz this is my town Get it right

    You aint got no business Calling-

    (What!?)

    -Out my style

    Getting Crunk

    Riding dirty With my homies at my side

    Staying Fresh up in my crib

    Fresh kickin’ like a bro

    Keepin chill and getting low

    To let everybody know

    This is my town and my home

    My names CJ I’m such an addict

    Gotta preach the word like its automatic

    Can’t stop when I’m on a rol

    lClaiming this town as my own

    So turn it up (Cheyeaa)

    Speak the truth in love

    As fresh as it sounds I’m fighting in a war

    And I’m claiming my town in the name of the Lord

    Start where you are And we’ll bring the walls down

    Cuz I’m fighting for the souls of everyone in my town

    Pray for the light that it’ll always be found

    And I’ll try to do my best to help it out somehow

    (chorus)

    So it starts when I git out of bed

    How I treat the folks that I’m livin with

    If I really act like the way I said

    If I’m showing Christ through the life I live

    Read the Bible daily and I try to learn

    But even if I knew every single word

    -And didn’t have love displayed in my life

    I know that I’d only be wasting my time

    Break it down like Move like this everybody in the club

    shake it on downAnd throw your hands up

    We got bass so loud they can hear outside

    Everybody move now side to side

    We got words to the beats to make your heart move

    You can be a child of God if you choose

    But its not how you roll its all who you know

    You gotta know Jesus and Him alone

    (Chorus)

    Its my town…My town (x15)

    Axl –

    You should check out their officially sanctioned live video where they are singing a song called “Roll How You Roll”.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohRxSDk1OC4

    It’ll make you think, that’s for sure.

    Oh, the Christmas video. There’s that also.

    i’ve never wanted to blow my brains out more in my life than right now. i don’t even know what to think…

  • guh

    This is why Christians were crucified in the first place, because they’re annoying.

    • A normal human like the rest of you

      You never see a Buddhist make terrible or annoying music.

      • alex

        I’ve never seen a Buddhist make any music at all actually

      My thoughts exactly, when’s the new Brokencyde album drop?

  • sweatdripsfrommyballs

    I’m usually pretty tolerant towards scene music, heck I listen to A Day To Remember and BMTH alongside The Faceless, Immortal and Maiden but this is just……..

    This song is awesome, you wish you were as cool as the kidz in it.

    Not even mad, not even trollin’.

      Watt, when you have something worthwhile to contribute to the conversation, feel free to rejoin us, until then, get back under the table where you belong.

  • dave

    im sure this is just really elaborate trollage, they dont even have fans on youtube

  • souldestroyer

    i liked it so much i watched their video 5 times and went to sargeant d’s post on his blog and went to their facebook and listened to their other songs several times as well.

    hey. i can like different genres of music! its not just metal i love, but metal is what i love the most

    • lulwut

      Liking different genres of music is fine, however that tonal abortion doesn’t fit into music. What you describe is more along the likes of running through a sewage system open mouth first. Sure you may find the wedding ring someone accidentally flushed, but more often than not you seem to end up with shit.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Cary-Hutchison/713105300 Cary Hutchison

    “Riding dirty” means driving around with illegal drugs or firearms in your vehicle. How very Christian of them. Fucking posers.

    • Icewind666

      Their bible is the drug. The word of God is the weapon…Sheesh do i have to explain everything..

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Cary-Hutchison/713105300 Cary Hutchison

        So the bible and God are illegal? It’s about fucking time.

  • SourDeez

    This is like massively miscalculating a dose of acid, and then somehow finding yourself at a Justin Bieber concert to your absolute horror.

  • 7DRR

    I blame Sgt. D for this.

  • SON1KdethMUNKY

    Yes, it hurts my soul knowing musical miscarriages like this exist, but you’re not helping the problem by bandying it all over the internet.

    Just fuckin’ ignore it and it’ll go away.

    • C. Frazier

      That’s what my doctor said about herpes.

      • lulwut

        You heard it here first. Christ = Herpes

  • sparkyeb3

    Get murdered.

  • C. Frazier

    I so hope they go on tour with Brokencyde. That would be fucking sick! I can’t wait to see them live and it’s good to see a band doing something good with the profits. Everyone here is made because they couldn’t think of something as creative as this, and your’e all mad that they’re spreading the word. You could all use a little christ in your hearts.

    • Dirtman73

      I could use a little Christ in my stomach too. Think I”l head to the local church and grab some free wafers. Maybe a bit of wine while I’m there.

      Proxy cannibalism FTW.

    I have a feeling this is the kind of thing that makes grad students in Cultural Anthropology simultaneously come in their pants and shit themselves.

    OH THE SYNCRETISM!1!!11

    What force in history other than Myspace could inspire the Kids These Days to force shitty, flaccid “beats” together with aggressionless screaming, awkward flailing, 80s dayglo fashion and cringeworthy “rapping”? Other than achieving the grand teenage goal of being as off-putting as possible to the Out Group, I have no idea what the audience is supposed to enjoy about this… None of the elements has any quality to the execution and you can’t fucking dance to it either.

    i lasted 20 fucking seconds. i want those 20 seconds back and a couple of heads on pikes. you gentlemen and lady (maybe?) can probably guess who the 2 heads belong to.

  • Alex

    I am Christian and I love screamo. But crunk does not belong anywhere near screaming music. I can respect the guys for trying to spread the Word but I cant listen to this music. I just cant.

    • lulwut

      See, the funny thing is if they were spreading the word of Buddhism I don’t think you’d be respecting them for it.

      • alex

        Actually I have taken a side interest in Buddhism and read some Buddhist material and some articles from The Journal of Buddhist & Christian Interfaith Dialogue. Just because I’m Christian doesn’t mean I can’t respect other beliefs.

        • lulwut

          Then I respectfully retract my trolling

  • Tim

    I know there are heaps of shitty Christian bands, but there’s a gem of a band in Pantokrator. They’re like the Amon Amarth of Christian metal.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW26QFKeAS8

    Guess you could just listen to Amon Amarth though….
