Abstract

Emile Wennekes brings two highly controversial comedy films from the Netherlands to the table in chapter 23: New Kids Turbo (2010) and New Kids Nitro (2011). The New Kids franchise is downright vulgar, over the top, and candidly crude in all corners, but the soundtrack, drenched in ‘happy hip-hop’, forms a perfect match to the movies. This particular pop musical genre style is discussed against the backdrop of four strata of incongruent musical parody present in the soundtrack
