For the most part, Crabcore is an
offshoot of Christcore, with similar
hairstyles, v-necks, tight pants and religious beliefs. A
genre of metal music in which the preforming artists, during the
break-down section of their song, lower themselves into a crab like
position while continuing to play their instruments.
By definition it is the act of squatting and getting a up and down motion, whether fast or slow during the breakdown of a song. Therefore giving it the apperence of a Crab moving up and down. It contains the Core because of its associations with metal genre's. But Crabcore is so much more. It many of times incoporates the use of violently banging your head or " head banging" as it is called. Sideways motion can also be used to imitate a sort of crab walking effect. It also uses the unique talent of unison Crabcoring and unison running in place, which some would call "dancing". This adds to the awesomeness of crabcore and brings a different intensity. Crabcore will also include jumping, stomping, guitar spins, guitar flips, over the head guitar move, other various guitar moves, and the use of going side to side while squatting. Using various facial expressions will also show your intensity as a crabcorer. Especially sticking your tongue out to show you are hardcore. The best way to understand is watch said Crabcore in action. See videos for songs stickly stick and dr. shavargo pt. 3 by Attack Attack! for best examples.
