chap trap is electronic music for the most insufferable type of person

i used to listen to chapo trap house but after they were like "ohh god who could have seen the establishment candidates lining up behind one dickhead to kneecap sanders and destroy the hopes of the left its so over" in 2020 i wasnt really interested any more. they were insightful in some ways and regressive in other ways. i think that their sense of humour has become more popular since then (i dont want to say that tiktok is Chapo Trap House 2.0 but the absurd comedy that's common on tiktok is reminiscent of them in some ways) and so theyre probably less novel than they used to be. its insane that they were considered like, the apotheosis of the left (in the favourable and unfavourable sense) because in 2023 theyre pretty inoffensive ime

i dont know that mouth dreams are weird (I mean they're kind of weird) but if you want similar pop music mashups Girl Talk are okay to good

Early Dan Deacon might fit "weird" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6gKT3NnE3k but it's more weird pop than feeling "uneasy"

perfume genius might sort of fit the bill in some songs https://youtu.be/Khum88L9R8k

maybe sleep party people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqzpSiJzL4c

I don't really like Xiu Xiu myself and can't really recommend any songs in particular but they are certainly uncomfortable to listen to
