Crabcore 

A type of genre of screamo hardcore music by the band Attack Attack! The genre isn't of musical value but of appearance as the bands do crab like movements on performances. These include bending your knees down until your crotch practically hits the floor and doing jumps in this position.

Guy 1: "Dude have you seen that new Attack Attack! band?!"
Guy 2: "Oh yeah man, they're so crabcore!"

Crabcore 

A joke term invented by a couple of music blogs to describe the modern emo metal played by the band Attack Attack!, based on the crablike crouch stance often performed by the guitarists / bassist.

It's not a real genre of music, since the term was coined to describe one band which plays a certain style of a much more well defined genre of music. Pretty sure that every band on the planet that has ever had success plays a personal style of some sort of larger, more well defined movement. Attack Attack! is a contemporary emo band, regardless of what they do with their legs. Calling a band crabcore is like calling Owl City a postalservicecore band.

Crab Core 

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.
Some scientists speculate that this movement is intended to emphasize the rhythm and beat of the break-down section in a song.

Person 1: dude that band is so sick, but why do they squat like crabs during their songs

Person 2: Its because they're Crab Core duh!

crapcore 

Crapcore is a music genre with a clear aggressive mode that has nearly no lyrics at all. Most often, crapcore has a fuzzy and very fast beat, the samplings have very low quality and the vocals consist solely of screams. Sometimes single words or phrases can be heard.

There is a fine line between crap-core and crap. Crapcore is less a musical genre or style and more a method of thinking, and an approach towards creating art. While crapcore music can range from simplistic accoustic tunes to avant-garde opperettas made by screaming into a hand-held tape recorder, what remains constant is a naive ability and willingness to create despite an awful environment or the neccescity to use the most rudimentry, broken-down tools. And beyond this simplistic and haggard bum's work-ethic, crapcore always has an underlying ugly-ness. The crapcore artist is simultaniously a cynical and pretentious rip-off artist and a "outsider" idiot-artist. He or she will continue to create flawed artwork no matter the situation because of a compulsion and an inability to function within the "outside world."

Many novelty or "crap" artists often confuse their work with crapcore. Crapcore music is closely related to freak-out, core-core, far-out and avant-unlistenable, in that it is likely sloppy, lo-fi, fueled by alcohol or drugs or widely considered exremely irritating, however a wide spectrum of diverse artists could also be defined by such wide deffinitions.

Some "popular" crapcore artists include "German Cars vs American Homes", "Hasil Adkins", "Pope John Paul the Third" and "Passenger of Shit".
