Same reason we watch the terrible movies we do? ish man, I can't stop laughing at their songs. They're so awful that I find them hilarious. Now I feel like a dirty hipster, liking it ironically.

The "Critical Reception" section about brokenCYDE from Wiki is HILARIOUS:
Brokencyde is generally panned by critics. Cracked.com contributor Michael Swaim said the band sounded like "a Slipknot-Cher duet".,[17] while another Cracked contributor Adam Tod Brown commented on their song FreaXXX "I hate that song so much that I would hold it face down in a bathtub until it drowns if I could."[18]
British comic book writer Warren Ellis considered Brokencyde's "FreaXXX" music video "a near-perfect snapshot of everything that’s ish about this point in the culture".[19] A writer for the Warsaw Business Journal attempted to describe their music: "Imagine an impassioned triceratops mating with a steam turbine, while off to the side Daft Punk and the Bee Gees beat each other to death with skillets and spatulas. Imagine the sound that would make. Just try. BrokeNCYDE is kind of like that, except it also makes you want to jab your thumbs into your eyeballs and gargle acid."[20]
The New Musical Express stated in a review of I'm Not a Fan, But the Kids Like It!, that "even if I caught Prince Harry and Gary Glitter adorned in Nazi regalia defecating through my grandmother’s letterbox I would still consider making them listen to this album too severe a punishment."[21]
August Brown of the Los Angeles Times writes:
"This 'Albucrazy'-based band has done for MySpace emo what some think Soulja Boy did for hip-hop: turn their career into a kind of macro-performance art that exists so far beyond the tropes of irony and sincerity that to ask 'are they kidding?' is like trying to peel an onion to get to a perceived central core that, in the end, does not exist and renders all attempts to reassemble the pieces futile."[22]

I looked it up trying to see if these guys were making this music as a joke, a parody, SOMETHING. Nope. No such thing to be found.

It's like he just wanted to throw anime references in a song but had no idea how to make them fit, so he just threw names in to sound cool.

Man if he can make money with that, I know you, Scott and myself could make some. We could rap about wrestling and belts. It'd be dope.
