very popular in most styles of music which involve men wearing thier sisters pants screaming about thier ex girlfriends and period pains. a chugging action performed on guitar which only one arm is needed to perform, one armed retards, aswell as, normal retards, love this because, it's an excuse not to have a riff which takes time to write and practice to perfect, people who enjoy this usally start having fits and waving thier arms and legs around trying to be as gay as they can in the biggest amount of space possible.
drumming for a breakdown is just basically a drummer trying to hit every tom, cymbal, and the snare at the exact same time.

A part of many Hard/Deathcore songs, that in many real metal fan's opinions, ruins the entire genre.
Deathcore kid: Waking the cadaver's entire album is like a breakdown!
Metalhead: That must be why it's so terrible!
