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.

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 ânu-gazeâ, a heavier, grungier, more metallic form of shoegaze rooted in â90s rock.
Stereogum has published an article called "TikTok Has Made Shoegaze Bigger Than Ever", which mentions several pedalstare artists.
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
Hypnopop is an electronic music genre that could be viewed as an evolution of eccojams, taking slowed-down sampled loops or even entire songs from modern pop music and adding copious amounts of reverb and echo so that it takes on an abstract and hypnotic quality.
Similar to slowed + reverb or daycore, hypnopop reframes pop music and pushes the ambience further into a more ethereal and transcendent result.
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.
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.
