Why does the inside of a cheese grater look like every rap video from the early 2000s?

Crunk is a nonsensical word first used by Doctor Seuss in one of his books.
Crunk as a pseudo past tense for "crank" as in "cranked up" was slang for upbeat songs, clubs, people, parties, moods, and associated with southern hip hop. Artists like OutKast and Lil Jon use this as the foremost definition.
Unrelated, crunk was also first used and popularized by Conan O'Brien (and Starburns from Community, Dino Stamatopoulos) as "America's newest profanity" in 1992 as a word that sounds vulgar and meant getting shit faced, i.e. "crazy drunk". White people in the 90's and 00's seem to use this as the foremost definition.
