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.
