The compilation album *[Surge Compilation Vol. 1](/source/Surge_Compilation_Vol._1)* (2020) released by the [netlabel](/source/Netlabel) [Dismiss Yourself](/source/Dismiss_Yourself)

**HexD** is an [Internet](/source/Internet_music) [microgenre](/source/Microgenre) of [electronic music](/source/Electronic_music) and style of [audio mixing](/source/Audio_mixing) that emerged in the late 2010s to early 2020s. The term "hexD" was originally coined by the music collective Hexcastcrew. The style is defined by a form of [DJ mixing](/source/DJ_mix) which uses heavy [bitcrushing](/source/Bitcrusher), sped-up and [pitched](/source/Pitch_shifting)-up effects to create a distorted "[glitched](/source/Glitch_(music))-out" sound, which is commonly referred to as "hexxing" a song. The mixing style is primarily applied to [trance](/source/Trance_music) and [cloud rap](/source/Cloud_rap) genres along with other styles.

In 2019, the release of the album *[Rare RCB hexD.mp3](/source/Rare_RCB_hexD.mp3)* by Stacy Minajj under the alias tomoe_theundy1ng marked the crystallization of the scene. The mix sampled songs by the American [Internet rap](/source/Internet_rap) collective [Reptilian Club Boyz](/source/Reptilian_Club_Boyz), the group's founder [Hi-C](/source/Hi-C_(rapper%2C_born_1998)) has been noted as influential to the development of the style. The album gained notoriety through the [netlabel](/source/Netlabel) [Dismiss Yourself](/source/Dismiss_Yourself) which contributed to the scene's development.

HexD birthed subgenres such as crushed trap and [surge](/source/Surge_(music_genre)) which were initially used synonymously. It also influenced the development of microgenres such as [sigilkore](/source/Sigilkore), which uses extensive bitcrushing effects. Artists associated with the hexD scene include [Yabujin](/source/Yabujin), Fax Gang, ZBITO18, $pirit Gurlz and the group HelloKittyWaffenDivision.

## Etymology and characteristics

According to [Sticki](/source/Sticki), the founder of the [netlabel](/source/Netlabel) [Dismiss Yourself](/source/Dismiss_Yourself), the term "hexD" originally emerged through the music collective Hexcastcrew, who "hex songs—in their words, they cast spells [via] [bitcrushing](/source/Bitcrushing) the music."[1] The process of "hexxing" a song involves a style of [DJ mixing](/source/Remix) that makes heavy use of bitcrushing and digital effects.[5][1][8]

During the early 2020s, hexD was briefly known as "[surge](/source/Surge_(music_genre))",[9]*[3]*[10] after the Dismiss Yourself compilation album *[Surge Compilation Vol. 1](/source/Surge_Compilation_Vol._1)* (2020).[1] The term "crushed trap" had also been an early synonym for the style.*[3][11]* The visual aesthetics of hexD draw influence from [anime](/source/Anime), [internet aesthetics](/source/Internet_aesthetics), and early [Web 2.0](/source/Web_2.0) era iconography and artwork primarily associated with the 2006 online [GIF](/source/GIF) editor [Blingee](/source/Blingee) as a form of childhood nostalgia that has been compared to the [vaporwave](/source/Vaporwave) microgenre.[5][12] According to [WKNC-FM](/source/WKNC-FM), the mixing style is reminiscent of early Internet "low quality trance/adjacent [EDM](/source/Electronic_dance_music)" anime [AMVs](/source/AMV_video_format).[5]

HexD is primarily characterized by its style of DJ mixing which is primarily applied to [trance](/source/Trance_music) and [cloud rap](/source/Cloud_rap) genres.[5] Similarly to [nightcore](/source/Nightcore), the style is also applied to other genres .[5] HexD is defined by the use of bitcrushing, a production technique that produces [distortion](/source/Distortion_(music)) through the reduction of bandwidth and [digital audio](/source/Digital_audio) data.[13] Artists usually apply bitcrushing to specific instruments or the entire master track, speeding and [pitching](/source/Pitch_(music)) up vocals as well as overall instrumentation.[13] *[Alternative Press](/source/Alternative_Press_(magazine))* magazine described the style as "sped up, bitcrushed and [glitched](/source/Glitch_(music)) out".[14]

## History

### Precursors

In 2011, Untrance released a mixtape titled "Deleted Seniors", which featured [EDM music](/source/EDM_music) mixed with heavy [bitcrushing](/source/Bitcrushing), marking one of the first times the extreme use of the effect was incorporated as an aesthetic quality in music.[5] Writing for *[Complex](/source/Complex_Magazine)*, music journalist [Kieran Press-Reynolds](/source/Kieran_Press-Reynolds) stated that the scene had roots in the work of rappers [SpaceGhostPurrp](/source/SpaceGhostPurrp) and [Cartier God](/source/Cartier_God).*[3]* West Coast producer she_skin had earlier explored bitcrushing [trap](/source/Trap_music) songs by Virginia rapper [Diamondsonmydick](/source/Diamondsonmydick), which influenced the [Hexcastcrew](/source/Hexcastcrew) collective.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

### Late 2010s–2020s: Origins

The hexD scene initially emerged in June 2019 with the release of the DJ mix *[Rare RCB hexD.mp3](/source/Rare_RCB_hexD.mp3)* by Stacy Minajj under the alias "tomoe_theundy1ng".*[3]*[8] It sampled and remixed songs from the influential [Internet rap](/source/Internet_rap) collective [Reptilian Club Boyz](/source/Reptilian_Club_Boyz).[15]*[3]*[12][8] Writing for *[Pitchfork](/source/Pitchfork_(website))*, music critic [Kieran Press-Reynolds](/source/Kieran_Press-Reynolds) stated that the underground scene in the early 2020s was "splintering every which way, from wailing [digicore](/source/Digicore) to bitcrushed hexD."[12] They[a] credited Reptilian Club Boyz as being alongside other groups in "the nexus for a new vanguard".[12] According to *[the Fader](/source/The_Fader)*, Nashville rapper [Hi-C](/source/Hi-C_(rapper%2C_born_1998)) who founded the collective is noted as "a key influence on the development of HexD".[16][17]

Subsequently, the [netlabel](/source/Netlabel) [Dismiss Yourself](/source/Dismiss_Yourself), which focused on obscure [Internet music](/source/Internet_music), uploaded the Stacy Minajj mix to their [YouTube](/source/YouTube) channel on August 23, 2019, which became instrumental to the wider proliferation of the hexD genre.*[11]*[1][13] *Pitchfork* credited the label with helping to "kickstart the hexD scene".[1] In April 2020, the label released the various artists compilation album *[Surge Compilation Vol. 1](/source/Surge_Compilation_Vol._1)*, where artists in the scene "found a collective identity".[1]

By March 2021, *[Alternative Press](/source/Alternative_Press_(magazine))* magazine labelled the group Fax Gang as "hexDers" and merging the style with [shoegaze](/source/Shoegaze).[10][18] They were also compared to the act $pirit Gurlz.[10] The publication added, "ZBITO18 and the rest of HELLOKITTYWAFFENDIVISION provide a comprehensive catalog of hexD-ed (aka sped up, bitcrushed and glitched out) neon [Myspace](/source/Myspace)-core rave insanity."[10] Followed by an article from April that year stating, "The [Blackwinterwells](/source/Blackwinterwells)-led [Helix Tears](/source/Helix_Tears) collective is [SoundCloud](/source/SoundCloud)'s most exciting rabbit hole of [glitchcore](/source/Glitchcore)/hexD [emo-rap](/source/Emo_rap) transcendentalists".[14] Lithuanian rapper [Yabujin](/source/Yabujin) has been associated with the scene.[19]

### Surge

**Surge** is an [Internet](/source/Internet_music) microgenre of hip-hop that emerged in the early 2010s and late 2020s. The term was initially used synonymously with crushed trap and hexD.[3]*[11]* The style was named after the [Dismiss Yourself](/source/Dismiss_Yourself) compilation album *Surge Compilation Vol. 1* (2020).[9] The term "surge" was coined by a [Discord](/source/Discord) friend of Sticki, the founder of the label, who created a fictional cover, which was later used as the official cover art for the compilation.[1]

Writing for *[Complex](/source/Complex_Magazine)*, music journalist [Kieran Press-Reynolds](/source/Kieran_Press-Reynolds) described the style as "mellow and murky, a sort of [lo-fi trap](/source/Lofi_hip-hop) sound loaded with retro sound effects and compressed to sound like it was recorded on an old laptop microphone". Adding that the scene did not crystallize until the release of *Rare RCB hexD.mp3* in June 2019, a mix produced by tomoe_theundy1ng sampling a set of singles by the group [Reptilian Club Boyz](/source/Reptilian_Club_Boyz)*.[3][11]*
