Trip Metal is a term that was conceived by John Olson of the band Wolf Eyes to categorize the bandâs sound which originated in a meme that helped popularize the term. The genre covers a wide variety of what once constituted the noise music scene. An annual Trip Metal Fest, curated by the members of Wolf Eyes, showcases many of the acts that fall under the genre which takes place in Detroit and in recent years has spread to other cities in the Midwest.
John Olsen (sic) christened the phrase when he tweeted a photo of a wolfâfangs baredâwith a declaration that his band embodied "Trip Metal."âostensibly to highlight both the psychedelia and the aggression of his band's sound. -via Thump
A subculture that combines the ethos of the hippie movement with the philosophies of the punk rock movement. Experimentalism and improvisation are the trademarks that make up this group. Psychedelic explorations with all of the self-governed individuality that defines life experience.
Paul has become a hunker, I guess it's safe to say he likes to take LSD and listen to Bad Brains.

Nutalism (also known as Nu Brutalism or Neo Brutalism) is a resurgence of the Brutalist movement in architecture starting in the mid-2010s. Many of the defining aspects of the classic style have been softened in newer buildings, with concrete façades often being sandblasted to create a stone-like surface, covered in stucco, or composed of patterned, precast elements.
Nutalism has been used in renovations of older Brutalist buildings, such as the redevelopment of Sheffield's Park Hill.
Oceangrunge is an electronic music genre that has emerged in 2014 influenced by early vaporwave, drone, grunge and nu metal. Although still open to interpretation, it is said to be a reflection of the godlessness and hopelessness of contemporary western society. The vastness of the ocean serves as both a metaphor to allude to this concept, as well as alluding to the breadth of the dissonant droning sound of the music itself.
Sea of Dogs and Poseidon in Chains are examples of two artists that have been tagged, Oceangrunge, on Bandcamp.
Music categorized as kitschedelia often employs overtly cheesy, tacky, or low brow humor in combination with the experimentation and perception altering characteristics of psychedelic music. The effect of kitschedelia is often meant to confound and challenge the listener and can be heavily conceptual. The genre also has roots in plunderphonics and culture jamming.
Much of the output of The Residents could fall into the category of kitschedelia due to the group's hallucinatory deconstruction of commercial and popular music.
Slosh, also known as goo core, is a music genre that is an offshoot of 21st century noise music, characterized by free arrangements and digital textures, often with a sense of playfulness, cuteness, or bubbliness that references the euphoria of pop music without the structural formalities. Strains of slosh could be viewed as a response to some of the monochromatic abstract music of the early '00s.
When the terms "slosh" and "goo core" were devised, they were intended to describe an outpouring of noise music that was bubbly/playful like pop, but âwithout the structure".
