Hunk

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.

Mid-century postmodern

Mid-century postmodern is a movement in interior design that has gained popularity in the early 2020s. The style is reminiscent of mid-century modern in its use of clean simplicity and focus on functionality, but also features the 2010s fascination with minimalism and sleekness.

Many restaurants are using mid-century postmodern design to create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and relaxing.

Kitschedelia

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.

Nutalism

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.

Trip Metal

Trip Metal is a term that was conceived by John Olson of the band Wolf Eyes to categorize the band’s 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 wolf—fangs bared—with a declaration that his band embodied "Trip Metal."—ostensibly to highlight both the psychedelia and the aggression of his band's sound. -via Thump

Pedalstare

Pedalstare is a music genre that is seen as an evolution of shoegaze, gaining prominence on TikTok in the early 2020s. Its sound incorporates humble production quality and post-internet influence combined with above-ground rock and a distinctly American strain of shoegaze colloquially known as “nu-gaze”, a heavier, grungier, more metallic form of shoegaze rooted in ’90s rock.

Stereogum has published an article called "TikTok Has Made Shoegaze Bigger Than Ever", which mentions several pedalstare artists.
