Kwaicore, your time is done!

It's been the 6 weeks of what I think has been the most pointless use of the internet. We have access to the whole world but people were writing about something that doesn't actually exist. Now I sit here typing this blog thinking about all those dear people who who believed so hard in something so weird and frankly dysfunctional as a concept; what are they going to do now?

There are still however the "beliebers" of kwaicore, those who think that normal Kwaito and Hardcore music is just not enough. There are those out there who will wear those high thick black boots, head banging to Arthur Mafokates' stuff.

Come on! There are real people out there making real music and real success out of it. These people are those Kwaito artists (whoever they are) and the head banging rockers could be doing the same.

The face of Kwaicore

Every music genre has a face; bubblegum pop was won by Britney Spears whilst Corey Taylor can easily take whatever his genre is. There's also a guy named Bricks who apparently is an awesome Kwaito star whilst whoever is the face of Hardcore punk takes that.

Why don't you decide what the face of Kwaicore should look like? Here's a guideline to get you started. Below are two artists with their signature facial expressions. Beware girls who take photos of their duck faces, you may have competition.

"Girls Can Rock" punk bad. I see 3 girls.

"Music of the townships"; The intro to Kwaicore

You may not know what the townships actually are, but don't be fooled; there are actually people out there who do buy expensive clothing and shoes only to dance around a fire to burn these items. Now whilst this ritual may seem positively stupid, it's the music they dance to that I'm going to talk about; Kwaito. 

Arthur Mafokate, the Britney Spears or the Elvis of Kwaito, describes the relationship between Kwaito and gangsterism as music revolving around ghetto life. To me, its the most ironic or contradictory form of music ever, the name being derived from the Afrikaans word for angry ("Kwaai") and then it being used post-apartheid as a way of the ghetto, because apparently them being oppressed was not enough credit. If you read what other people have to say about Kwaito, the believe it's the ghetto way of saying "house music". So let's just 'ghetto' everything because we can.

Alright, so moving on from the fact that kwaito is the music of "rebelling" and "renaming", I have a few examples i thought I'd share with you as I need to get those of you who have "never" (you have, you just didn't acknowledge) heard.

Is Kwaito not just house music?? Then what is house music??

Why would you want to superimpose this onto SlipKnots Duality??

Let me know what you think
