darkadelic

A derivative play on the established term 'psychedelic', describing unusually strong experiences of colour, sound, smell, taste, and touch, and other sensory perceptions. These experiences may be accompanied by anxiety, confusion, and agitation (i.e. fever-dreamesque), but can provide sources of insight, or even enlightenment.

"Hey man, that new album by UK band The Damned is sooooo Darkadelic! Here, have a listen."
