They are a sad excuse for music, they usually sound terrible and it seems like bands have contests to make the slowest one. They are the least heavy part of the song camouflaged into being the heaviest part, when you play heavy or brutal, you are usually playing fast, hitting a cord and having the drummer play slow as shit is boring, slow music is boring...

Taken from the fourth opening (or third, if you dont wanna consider the edm version of the first opening, an opening) of the JoJo's Bizzare Adventure Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable anime, it is a term used to specifically describe a JoJo fan's mental or emotional breakdown.

Breakdown breakdown is a sentence of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure part 4 opening "great days", right when this song starts the singers yells BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN, causing it to become a meme of it's own by using it out of context by saying you're having a blank BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN , this meme is commonly used by JoJo fans
-random guy: "Hey dude how are you"
-you: I'm having a mental BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN
