Killwhitneydead is the name of an American hardcore, metal or grindcore band that makes extensive use of samples in their music. Originally hailing from Arizona, the band later claimed Greensboro, North Carolina as home. They are characterized by their mixture of blast beats, traditional metal riffs, hardcore "chugging" style guitars, and death metal singing. All of their songs also include at least one audio sample, usually from a popular movie. These samples are integrated as part of the lyrics and add meaning to the songs.

The lyrics of most Killwhitneydead songs describe violence and hatred towards women, though on their most recent release, So Pretty, So Plastic, the lyrics branched out to include hatred of others besides just women. The band is often accused of being misogynistic, which is a label they have never disputed.
