a sub-genre of sorts from some dumbass on twitter lmao. idk claustrophobia pop is whatever you want it to be i guess lol

other better descriptions:

"…a mishmash of all the noisy angsty internet-core type of genres. it's got skramz, noise, bedroom pop, indie rock, and chiptune at times. just shit that 13yo versions of us would've drooled over had it existed back then."

- Samithan from Salem's Corydalis

"Claustrophobia Pop is an overwhelming sound, and a take-on the now increasingly popular ‘Bedroom Skramz’ style of production and vocals. The difference between these two genres is similar to how one may see Noise Rock and Shoegaze. Considerable overlaps and inspirations, but what really sticks out in Claustrophobia Pop is the intent to submerge the listener. With at times raspy-strained vocals and heavy electronic elements, it creates a unique experience, one could find comforting or stressful, depending on how one interprets."
