= Tism (music) =

Tism is an American subgenre of Noise music mainly characterized by the transformation of ordinary sounds, and the human voice, similar to those made by mentally handicapped individuals. Additionally, the genre employs heavy use of post-production techniques to create a loud, distorted, and excessively reverberant soundscape.

History
The genre originated in the American town of Marana, AZ by a Soundcloud user named The Autismo, who, inspired by his own mental deficiencies, decided to record several songs and release them to a worldwide audience through the music-sharing site.

Characteristics
The Tism genre was created to encapsulate the perspective and emotions of the autistic mind. As such, it pushes audio editing software to its absolute limits by utilizing a wide array of effects and filters to transform mundane, ordinary sounds into a terrifying cacophony. Specifically, the sounds that are used to create this type of music include simple noises such as the sounds an autistic person makes at any passing moment, the sound of a dog, or the sound of an autistic person slapping themselves.
