First i want to say, that the term Trashwave is itself a border hike, because the music has no prominent style of tempo or percussion.
Even the people one may name as Trahwave artists, can refuse the term and dislike it.
I will list some artist, that i will call "Close To Be Called Trashwave".
I don't want to put off someone or insult their art, when sort them into this term. I want to apologize, when i did something wrong.
Trashwave is a very small "scene", that i spectacte mostly in Soundcloud. The music itself uses very distorted synth or even a complete distorted mix. The drums can vary from slow trap-like, wave-like rythm, the drums can be like the dutch hardcore "hakke" music, they can be breakcore jungle-ish, they can even be not and form ambient structures or the music focuses on composition.
So Trashwave touches many other genres and therefor it is like Witch House, which also leaves the form and plays with 4x4 type rythms and everything else.
My opinion is that Trashwave is more manic and while WH is a falling into a void, Trashwave is more a kicking off a cliff and it is like dry eyes or itching skin. The music wants one to push the limits or screams so loud to reach someone, that doesn't feel anymore. The high pitched sounds scratch the ears and it wants to be recognized so hard. Musical experiments are common and a overwhelming use of producing handcraft goes into the art. Like Witch House, we have different styles of mix and master, that takes it's freedom to sound Lo-Fi or compressed and but mostly over-distorted.
The themes of the music are dark, sad, tortured, brutal, hopeful, self-harming, outsiderish, sexual, strange, messed-up, fvcced-up, unknown, powerful, great and small, internetish, anime, trash, etc.
The artstyle of the covers or just images next to the music also uses strange stuff. Images that are "badly" designed or are explicit full of violence or they don't fit in completly and seem random. There is some design and use of forms that are unshaped and look like paintings of the mental ill. Collages like vaporwave art, but more like a nightmare of the darknet or some emofacebookgroup, that lost control.
Like Witch House there is a lot use of unicode. And oh boy, they mastered the use of unicode and they use strange numbers and letters for their titles or names. Like babylonic, mesopotamic unicodes, that look like artwork. Witch House never went that extreme with unicode symbolism. They use angelnumbers like 444, which seemed like a trend. They like to change their profile images and also they like to change their profile names or they delete their profile names at all. The behavior seems strange. The description of their tracks is sometimes cryptic, dumb or has a certain dark messages. Sometimes it seems random and sometimes you feel like there is a message, that can't be really encrypted.
I guess the term Trashwave is in the end a product by the rules of our society. Maybe people feel that this stuff is problematic content, because it speaks from certain people that may have a different vision and come from other backrounds and other types of socialisation. I don't know. And so all that which is unwanted by the mainstream will be labeled as "Trash". I feel like many of the artist are masters of their craft and create music and art, which is honest and is an important sign of our time. Almost a statement like punk, emo or hiphop. Or maybe it's because Trash Metal and they are just trashing their sound, you know. It could also be grinding. I red the term Witchgrind, but Trashwave is just OK.
One artist even states that "there is no such thing as trashwave".

You can hear the Witch House in that, but it goes beyond.

Thank you
