Defiling the viewer/listener's senses by pummeling them with unpleasant or gruesome images, flashing lights, or loud, dissonant noise. Note: This must be intentional on the part of the creators. This is not the same as Stylistic Suck. However, they can overlap. True Artists will also do this, but only if it's symbolic for the futility of modern life, a criticism of mass media, or something along those lines. Dada will sometimes do this just to piss the viewers off. Expect Vulgar Humor for the nastier forms of this. This can be subverted. Maybe the artist intentionally created ugly, dissonant sights or sounds to beat up the viewer, but the end result is actually pretty cool. Although there are many more kinds of other Sensory Abuse in Real Life (e.g.: skunks), all media covered in this wiki are limited to sight and sound, so we'll focus on these. The trope will be broken into two sections, with their common tropes listed below them: Optical Assault |

Linus Tech Tips: In-Universe. In "This was all a waste of money. (about YouTube's shoddy HDR support), an example is a cutaway of a hypothetical scene of an LTT employee looking at an HDR TV when it's tuned to "an even worse version of the Vivid mode in the Best Buy showroom" (meaning way too bright). The video itself is in SDR, so the excessive brightness is incapable of reaching the audience. | |

Many YouTube Poops, wherein it is called "ear rape". Some noteworthy ones: Geibuchan's Poops have a lot of sound bits intentionally amplified to loud noise levels for virtually no other reason than this. cartoonlover98 is another infamous example. Two of the biggest are "DON'T FORGET TO WRITE!" in the taken-down Friendship is Political Bullshit (this clip is featured in a mock Nostalgia Critic review) and SpongeBob's reaction to thinking he became manager of the Krusty Krab 2 in SpingeBill Travels Half the Globe for a Hat. The beginning of InspiredPlagarism's GarHallowFieldWeenBeard the Pirate. Same goes to some of the YTMND fads, like the Poland one. |

Covetous features progressively worse sensory assaults in its final three levels: the seventh stage replaces the music with a loud, high-pitched tone, the eighth has Epileptic Flashing Lights in the background, and the final stage takes both of these things further with the tone becoming higher and louder while the flashing becomes much more intense. | |

Created for the 7DFPS competition, Game Of The Year 420 Blaze It assaults the player with loud dubstep, flashing lights, and internet memes. The game was created as a parody of montage videos put together by some Let's Players that features the previously mentioned dubstep, flashing lights, and memes, taking them, cranking them up, and rendering it playable. Here, enjoy the fucking madness. | |

Death Grips has the song "Punk Weight". The song starts out nice, preparing you for a drop... and next thing you know, your headphones are vibrating from the intense feeling and sound of pure bass. Most of Death Grips' catalogue qualifies for this trope, with MC Ride's forceful rapping layered over distorted, chaotic instrumentation. |

Neon Genesis Evangelion practically has this down to an art form. Perhaps the most infamous example is in episode 22, when Asuka is Mind Raped by the Angel Arael. Then there's episode 26' (part 2 of The End of Evangelion), which features an entire minute of lightning-fast images from the series and a cacophony of voices and sound effects. Shinji also shares one with the viewer in episode 4 when he is surrounded by the harsh, constant buzzing of cicadas. The previews for episodes 14, 19, 22/22', and 25 feature a lot of rapidly cycling images. |

When the Melvins are playing to a particularly unappreciative audience (especially if they're playing at a festival where everyone's really waiting for the big name acts), they've been known to just break into an endless, deliberately irritating noise jam in order to get everyone to leave. If only a few people are left, then sometimes they start playing actual songs. Colossus of Destiny was essentially their attempt to replicate this on record, complete with the cacophony eventually turning into a performance of their song "Eye Flys". Chicken Switch, a remix album heavy on contributions from experimental noise artists, also probably applies. | |

At the start of Tusker's Number Adventure, a chorus of children will verbally count out items as they are collected. Their voices are a lot louder than you'd expect, especially compared to all the other sounds up to that point. Of course, that's nothing compared to when the game begins to glitch out, where noises become broken and harsher was well as being loud in order to scare you or make the game more immersive. | |

Steven Universe has an example of this in the episode "Adventures in Light Distortion". The episode had been largely humorous before, as the gravity engine on the Roaming Eye messed with the proportions of the Hard Light-bodies of the Gems. However, when Steven shuts it off on accident and everyone gets pinned to the walls, the environment turns red, and everything gains an effect much like watching a 3D movie without 3D glasses. The fact that everything starts shaking as well does not help. | |

Hotline Miami is a psychedelic 80's nightmare, with all the copious amounts of blood, gore and ultra-violence mixed in with bright neon colors, the game field constantly swaying as you move, and eventually TV-style flickering that can sometimes obscure your vision. In the "Tension" chapter, you can find a man who is being held hostage by the Russian Mafia. He is strapped up to several bombs, all of which are triggered to immediately detonate upon either of the room's doors opening. The only way to progress through the level is to take a shotgun, take cover, and fire at the door. What results is an ear-piercingly loud explosion which completely blows both of the doors off their hinges, and can be seriously disorienting to players who aren't expecting it. |

Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.... SwEEet BrO And hEEeElLA JeEeEeFFF!!! From the actual Homestuck series, we also have Jade: Wake Up. Starts off nice enough, but doesn't stay that way for long... For a more benign example, there's John: Reunite with your loving wife and daughter. It "features" an intentionally lame cover of a melodramatic, cheesy love song complete with a 'guitar solo' which is actually the singer making a guitar noise with his mouth. This is nicely accompanied by Animutation-style flashing colours, bad drawings and nasty gifs of Nicolas Cage. |

During the 1980's, the Butthole Surfers (an already disturbing band) would turn this into an art form. For starters, the band would be playing at absurdly loud volumes, flashing strobe lights at the audience at speeds that would induce nausea and seizures in some members of the audience, and displaying a combination of 16mm films frontman Gibby Haynes had fraudulently obtainednote He pretended to be a doctor in order to get films meant to be seen by people in medical school, for example of things like male to female sex change operations, autopsy footage, driver's ed gore, medical examinations of people with sexually transmitted diseases, and even "innocent" things like episodes of shows like Charlie's Angels - played upside down in reverse, of course. The band would then compliment this with a series of props/stunts (flaming cymbals, dual-drummers, papier-mache dummies being ripped to shreds, copious amounts of fog, a naked dancer...), and improvised various other stunts on top of that to create a complete hellscape of a live show. | |

The CrazyBus title theme, which outside sources indicate was constructed using a literal random sound generator. Older Than They Think: A similar random sound generator was included in one of Microsoft's BASIC demo programs that accompanies certain early PC compatibles. They're also taught as part of the syllabus in BASIC programming classes in the 80s. And going back even further, you can even buy microchips that produce this cacophony, they've been around for the longest time and are meant for "toy robots". |

Immediately after the presentation, he's ordered to never do that again. | |

Shows up twice in Corpse Party Blood Drive, where the game plays music so loud that it actually sounds distorted in the gym and once while wandering Heavenly Host.

Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning: The intentional shittiness that dominates a lot of the game's design leads to a few cases of exploited bad-quality audio, like Playtime's really strange voice and Baldi's distorted, artifact-choked "GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!" when you finally find all notebooks. It gets worse during the final part of the game where static noises are played incessantly as the player hits fake exits. | |

Irréversible is never particularly pleasant (what with the Infrasonics in the soundtrack and the at-times assaulting cinematography), but the ending elevates this up to an art form.

During Joel of Vinesauce's playthrough of a DOS All Dogs Go to Heaven video game, the title screen has an ear-bleeding loud and clipped version of "You Can't Keep a Good Dog Down" playing, startling both Joel (who literally starts screaming in pain) and his viewers. While Vinny himself often encounters accidental examples through corrupted games and others that are just awfully made, the Toad Games stream has an epitome sent by a Troll masquerading as an actual game sender, which can be heard here if you want to euthanize your headphones. It drowned out Vinny's own pained screaming and several watchers reported that being the only time an earrape actually hurt their ears, and woke up others that had fallen asleep. |

Basically the entirety of Enter the Void; the cinematography is amazing, don't get us wrong, but at times can only be described as an epileptic's fever dream.

From Codename: Kids Next Door, there is the episode "Operation: A.R.C.H.I.V.E.", which details the creation of adults and the war that children and adults fought so that both could get their respective rights. Granted, the thing is controversial since it should be separated from the general continuity of the series in order to get the maximum enjoyment out of it, but that is not what makes it this trope. What makes it this trope comes after the narrator (Numbuh 1) proves that adults and children do not live happily by using a The End... Or Is It? styled motive and showing after it the presence of schools which should let children forget about everything, after which you get disturbing image after disturbing image with narration detailing how gruesomely children are getting brainwashed by them until the teacher for which the speech is given demands that Numbuh 1 stops speaking so that he can give him a triple F minus for all of the (In-Universe) alleged lies he taught to those children. The show was already known for its outright gruesome imagery and themes, but this is unbelievably hard to watch even by the standards of the very show. | |

South Park likes — nay, loves — to explore all the myriad ways of making its audience's eyes bleed. One example is when Cartman is told to close his eyes to find inspiration, cue a montage of real-life footage of Nightmare Fuel, including Family Unfriendly Deaths, Gorn, and a lab mouse eating another one's brain. There is also random footage of a severely starving African man in a parody commercial for Towelie products. | |

Porter Robinson directly addresses this in the lyrics of "Fellow Feeling," wherein the girl singing asks the listener to "hear what she hears" before they're graced with synthetic beats and distorted sound, as a parody of modern EDM. She then proceeds to call it "ugliness" and "cruelty." While it's not extremely painful to listen to, it's diegetically considered as such. | |

The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky is possibly the earliest example of both auditory and visual Sensory Abuse working together. Made in 1913, when this ballet debuted the discordant music, disturbing jerking motions of the dancers, and bizarrely jarring sets caused the audience to boo within the first 15 minutes, then (apocryphally) riot before it was over. This Ballet is only half an hour long. | |

Drawn Together is infamous for this, with almost every single episode containing at least one instance of gross-out imagery or a screamer. | |

Both Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins and side 1 of Unfinished Music No. 2: Life with the Lions feature a prolonged, discordant One-Woman Wail from Yoko Ono. | |

A Vampire: The Requiem sourcebook makes mention of how Chicago's members of clan Mekhet have devised an art style known as "maximalism." One such example listed is a work on the decay of the earth; the display consists of day-glo painted rocks, a sand-covered floor, and a voice screaming "Dead earth! Dead earth!" over the speakers. For mortals, it comes across as abrasive, but for the Mekhet, who make good use of Auspex, it's supposed to be mind-blowing. | |

The audiobook version of Eden Green contains a grating scratch sound at the moment when Eden is infected with the alien needle symbiote. | |
