Crabcore emerged as an internet phenomenon in 2009, primarily centered around the music video for 'Stick Stickly' by the band Attack Attack!. The term was coined to describe the exaggerated, low-crouched stance adopted by the band members while playing their instruments, resembling the movements of a crab. While initially used by metal elitists to mock the band's fashion and 'scenecore' aesthetic, the meme was eventually embraced by the community as a nostalgic symbol of the late 2000s metalcore era. Today, Crabcore remains a legendary piece of internet music history, used to parody over-the-top stage presence and the specific evolution of electronicore.
