The big thing that vexs me (not necessarily bothers) about Attack Attack is the "crabcore" thing. Generally, when a band gets their own sub-genre it's because they did something musically different, not because they did some funny dance in a music video. It doesn't bother me, I just don't get the musical significance of it. Crabcore doesn't have sound, it just looks silly.
I could be wrong, but I believe the crabcore thing was a joke that spawned from a gif that was made a while back. I don't think it's considered a "real sub-genre" and I would call anyone who recognises it as one a fool. They are pretty much metalcore, although the newest album has a few tracks that are hard to squeeze into that genre.
