The TV Tropes Awful Music Collective is a band started by Lordnecronus in the forum thread "Let's make shitty music together", which can be found here
. The objective of it is to create an album of terrible music.
The participants are:
- Bound By The Moon
- JHM
- King of Kings
- Kitsune Inferno
- Litis
- Lordnecronus
- Mike K
- Yon Troper - Clean vocals, guitar and drums. Appears on "Imma Hard Durg Taker" and "U Ain't Christian, Shawty".
Current songs include:
- "HoOSHA!" by AwESOME MOVIE SOUND NOISES!!! - Tribal percussion, distorted, enthusiastic monologues, and maniacal laughter. Quite terrifying.
- "Imma Hard Durg Taker" by Zalgo of Broccoli - An indecipherable mess of random guitar notes, gratuitous Amen breaks and indecipherable spoken word.
- "trapped in a room WITH NO ESCAPE" by the Buffoon Conspiracy - 7:19 of kvlt distortion and terrible black metal screams.
- "Surpise Sex" by A Dyslexic Asian - Consists entirely of random synth washes played over three repeating bass notes. Pretty scary.
- "Shojo Statistics" by A Dyslexic Asian - Randomised tribal percussion and more synth washes. A good competitor to "Surpise Sex" in the horror stakes.
- "U Ain't Christian, Shawty (Pooprave Mega Mix)" by Breathe Broken Attack! - The crunkcore/deathcore crossover nobodynote was asking for.
- "I Am Going to Murder You" by Boosh Baloosh featuring the Fat Chinese Sluts Orchestra & Lower Dances - noise music. Bad noise music.
- "Bend Over For Brootul" by Dead Goths Everywhere - Scorecore, a mixture of metalcore and film score. Epic Rocking ensues.
The TV Tropes Awful Music Collective provides examples of:
- Auto-Tune: Used egregiously by Yon Troper in "U Ain't Christian, Shawty".
- Blatant Lies: The genres of "Surpise Sex" and "Shojo Statistics" are listed as lo-fi and blues on iTunes, respectively.
- Brick Joke: Dead Goths Everywhere was first mentioned in "Talk About Non-Existent Music".
- Careful with That Axe: Most notably, the ending to "HoOSHA!".
- Dreadful Musician: Done deliberately.
- Ear Rape:
Word of God claims that the melody to "Surpise Sex" reads "I heart rape". -
Epic Riff: Several in "U Ain't Christian, Shawty"... all of them stolen from At the Gates.- Word of God is that they were all improvised and the guitarist can't even remember them.
- Epic Rocking: "trapped in a room WITH NO ESCAPE" is 7:19.
- "Bend Over For Brootul" is slightly longer at 7:25.
- Genre Mashup: "U Ain't Christian, Shawty" is a combination of crunkcore and deathcore.
- I Am the Band:
- A Dyslexic Asian consists entirely of Kitsune Inferno.
- AwESOME MOVIE SOUND NOISES!!! consists entirely of Mike K.
- Dead Goths Everywhere is Bound By The Moon.
- Indecipherable Lyrics: "Imma Hard Durg Taker".
- Loudness War: All the songs use tons of compression and are hard-limited below 0dB so that they clip.
- So Bad, It's Good: The contributors who aren't trying hard enough.
- Three Chords and the Truth: "trapped in a room WITH NO ESCAPE", which consists mostly of fuzz.
