This Is Your Music Video: Brokencyde "Freaxxx"
I understand why you didn't tell me you were making a music video. It is ridiculous!
GO OUT AND GET A DAY JOB AND THEN DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB, BROKENCYDE! Right, guys?
The directors of the video have put up some behind the scenes Fun Facts for the superfans on their Tumblr:
I want to tell you some facts about our "gay" video:
- We shot this 100% on our own equipment.
- We shot this on a budget of $0.00.
- This was our first project since graduating film school.
- Everybody who worked on this shoot was unpaid therefore we respect EVERYBODY who featured in our video.
- We shot this video in four hours.
- There was no drinking of alcohol on set. The bottle you see seven drinking from....that's apple juice believe it or not!
HOLD ON. You're going to tell me that the Brokencyde "Freaxxx" video was shot for no money in four hours by a couple of recent film school graduates? IMPOSSIBLE. These guys are like the Robert Rodriguez of music video directing. You know, like how Robert Rodriguez makes stuff for almost no money and it's horrible? I do like that the directors respect EVERYBODY featured in the video because they did it for no money. If money had been involved there would have been some serious disrespect for at least ONE OF YOU (girl getting choked out).

It's like a fusion of two genres of music that aren't even real music.
Score = 5
God damn this new breed of douchebag that's emerging.
Score = 6
Ummm... I think it's a safe bet that this is a joke band. Maybe their style of humor is just going over you're head? Seems pretty obvious to me, though...
Score = -9
I don't think this "style of humour" (?) was going over anyone's head. Like me, he/she was probably too busy cursing these faux-artiste emo kids for making an "ironic" hip hop song in the first place to catch any sort of humour.
9/11 did not kill irony, but hipsters may soon.
Score = 5
There is no humor here. Unless the auto tuner hip-hop/ failure growling combo suddenly became the choice high brow medium for comedic expression.
Score = 2
that weird noise that one guy keeps making is like a cross between howard dean and a tasmaninan devil.
Score = 10
god--this is so your boyfriend's I'm Too Sexy ! wow.
and the funniest part (aside from Pink Emo's screaching and absolute awkwardness), is when, after singing "Let's get fucking freaky now" for a while, they order you to "Get F***ing Freaky" by writing it on half the screen :) now we get it!
this could easily be one of Andy's Digital Shorts :)
Score = 6
this is totally lonely island, we just don't know it yet.
Score = 3
They would have been better off with actual booze and throwing the cast a few silver dollars, then maybe they would have had some energy and actually danced and looked happy to be there. To me the worst part about this very much the worst video was the half assing it of the all the extras.
Score = 4
is this some sort of massively overthought dorm counselor's "let's get to know each other" project? "ok, each floor is going to make a music video and put it on youtube!"
...
"Paul, why are you choking Opal and screaming 'LIARRRR' in one scene?"
Score = 6
I'm afraid this video is a sign that the collapse of western civilization is near us
Score = 5
Believe it or not, the really scary part is that they have nearly 10 million views and 150,000 friends on myspace. Holy shit!
Score = 5
There's simply not enough cyanide in the world to wipe out the both the source and the infected.
Score = 12
These people are undoing every single thing (nothing) that I've done to give New Mexico a good name.
Also, brokencyde and myself share a mutual friend and from what I understand they are funded by their manager's drug money.
Hooray bad music funded by drug money!
Score = 7
Aren't you guys glad we don't listen to stuff like this?
Score = 5
my favorite is when they fake you out into thinking it's going to end. OPE! 30 seconds of terrible.
Score = 4
I've watched this a few times now and I'm pretty sure it's about rape. rape in this club?
Score = 6
This is why Reg Dogg must cry.
Score = 4
For recent film school graduates, I'm amazed it took them more than2 hours for 5 remarkably similiar, simple camera set-ups.
Score = 3
Y'know, there are times when you hear a song or see a video and you think that it's terrible because the people involved obviously weren't even trying. What's great about this is how much of an incredible EFFORT they seem to have made in their quest to the absolute fucking worst. Like, just when you think you've seen the stupidest thing ever, the guy starts rapping in a nasally voice or they start screaming at random chicks and trying to choke them.
That's why I just tracked them down on Last.fm and tagged them as "impressively terrible". Bravo, Brokencyde. Now please go blow yourselves up or something.
Score = 4
Wow. The Hunt for the Worst Band of All Time is over before it begins.
Score = 12
good call Teev!
Score = 2
Why do they keep making that horrible gutteral throw up sound?!?!?!?!?!
Score = 4
....
....
Call animal control because I know two creatures that need to be put down.
Score = 4
is that other guy, dressed like your stoner roommate, even in the band? i couldn't make it through the whole video, even for hate watching, but i didn't see him do anything aside from bounce up and down listlessly.
oh, he's the drug dealer, maybe...
Score = 3
This is the epitome.
Score = 3
"I see these shorties in the corner, they started making out.
They pull their panties down, they take their pants off."
WHAT? Ok, no one has ever done this. Ever. You cannot take your panties down before your pants. Unless the people who listen to this abomination wear their panties on top of their pants. Nice. Maybe that's what we have to look forward to eclipsing sagging "prison pants" as the worst style ever.
Score = 10
Yeah, and then after that, they "started getting freaky on the dance floor". Which implies either that they were actually having sex in the middle of a dancefloor (which sounds not only unsanitary but dangerous) or they were dancing whilst stripped from the waist down, something I see in the club all the time. This is the most ridiculous, lyrically painted club scene since "Low".
Then again, if you pay careful attention, you'll find that none of the lyrics make any fucking sense at all, so that might explain it.
Score = 4
i love this song to death it is so cool and awsome h**L ya "lets get freacky now lets get fu**ing freackey now"
Score = -7
i luv this band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Score = -6
I LOVE this video. it's just all about getting freaky in different places. I love the band, and just cuz you don't like the type of music that screams doesn't mean that it's bad music. I think it's hot.
Score = -10
Angie, there's a difference between screaming and barfing. I have nothing against screams when executed properly. These guys don't know how to do it.
Seriously though, I moved away from New Mexico some time ago and then THIS happened. I thought it was a joke when I first heard of them about 2 years ago. Not that every band to come from Albuquerque is genius, but we can offer SO MUCH BETTER than this tripe. Bands with actual musical talent.
And the depressing part is, this really isn't a joke.
Score = 6
guys, they can scream. they use a "scratchy" effect on the CD pplz.
L2fukin listen
jeezus peoples! brokencyde rules
have you seen a girl MOVE to this?
omg they make the BEST popping songs.
these guys make lil' wayne their bitch
straight up
BC13 for life

nuke it from orbit. it's the only way to be sure.
Score = 6
Please.
Your "constuctive critisism" isn't working
BrokenCYDE happened to be in Sufu, SD last weekend
I was priviledged enough to see them in concert with Drop Dead Gorgeous
They're highly talented && had everybody involved at the show.
So overall I feel they were a success but you people who are bashing them.
It's sad to see that you are treating this guy... no these people like they're dirt.
The really sad thing is... is that they see this stuff... I'm sure they read what is said.
It's not fair that you are saying these things... true it is your opinion.. but really?
Obviously you need to check out yourself because you're just as human as they are.
I just hope you realize that others have feelings.
What if you were online && typed in your name && saw all this written about you?
How would you feel?
BrokenCYDE is a great band && I believe that what they do as a proffession is great.
It's hard to start out && they've done good for themselves.
Their fans are faithful to them && I sure as hell wouldn't abandon this band.
They clashed different styles of music && made it sound good.
Their video was good for their first official video.
I know he was "choking" her but obviously its not real...
his hands weren't even all the way around her neck.
Its an interpretation of their song
Those "sounds" they make are screaming && I say they do very well at this also
They do it correctly && they are collectively trying to make rap and screamo work.
Which it has thanks to them.
I guess that's all I have to say.
Just have a little respect for a hard working band.
-shina.
Score = -19
your opinion doesn't matter.
you know how i know?
"&&" times 9.

Why is everyone all freaked out because he's choking a girl - lots of videos have shootings, car crashes, people slitting their wrists, people leaping off cliffs or buildings. Why should choking be more offensive than that?
Score = -16
I just want to know how it's possible to pull your panties down and THEN take your pants off.
Score = 7
Dude stop dissing on BrokenCyde, the calvery kids, and everyone else who makes music like this. i fucking love their music. because yes. it is out of every genre we have listened to. but its cool how they can jsut go out their and do what they love. just leave them the fuck alone. dude they are awesome to me. i love riding around with my windows rolled down singing FreaXXX and sex toyz and jsut having fun with my friends. cause that is what they are doing. its all fun. and it has nothing to do with what everyone has to say about their music, the way they dress, or anything like that. they are who they are, and you cnat change that.
