Brokencyde, often stylized as brokeNCYDE, is a group that emerged from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is known for its eclectic and controversial style that combines elements of crunkcore, hip-hop, and screamo. The group's name is a portmanteau of the words "broke" and "decide," symbolizing their broken dreams and the determination to move forward despite hardships. Their music typically features aggressive screamo-style vocals, heavy use of Auto-Tune, and themes that range from party-centric revelry to more emotional musings.

Brokencyde burst onto the scene in the late 2000s, polarizing listeners and critics with their debut album "I'm Not a Fan, But the Kids Like It!" in 2009. They have since maintained a dedicated fanbase, releasing a string of albums and EPs with titles like "Will Never Die," "Guilty Pleasure," and "Guilty Pleasurez," exhibiting a penchant for playing with stylized spellings and imagery. Their more recent works, including the EPs "From The Mud" and "HXC," as well as tracks like "Bla Bla Bla" and "Coca Zero," continue to showcase the band's willingness to push the boundaries of genre and often feature lyrics that address their journey through the music industry and personal growth. Despite facing criticism for their unconventional sound and thematic content, Brokencyde has persisted as a unique voice in the underground music scene.
