'''Earrape''' is a term used for incredibly loud, incredibly distorted audio. The point of earrape is to be shocking, with its occurrences often being sudden and unexpected (like a jumpscare).

In these cases, it is less about being shocking, and more about being "extreme", kinda like the constant distortion seen in something like death metal.
