Ideaot described the weird SoundCloud community as 'largely just people who are friends with each other.' The people who make weird SoundCloud are known as SoundClowns, a term coined by producer Dicksoak. Weird SoundCloud is a mash-up and parody music genre labeled by journalist Audra Schroeder as an in-joke that is 'deconstructing and reshaping memes and popular music, recontextualizing the sacred texts of millennial chat rooms.' Most tracks range from around 30 seconds to one minute in length. The fact that people enjoyed it and/or treated it as 'A travesty' (Direct quote from one of my tracks) spurs me on.' Characteristics

Another producer in the community, DJ (AT-AT), reasoned producers joining the scene 'want to express their musicality,' 'see it as a more mature form of YouTube Poop,' or are 'just looking for recognition on social media sites.' AT-AT said that it was 'a fun thing to do, and after I stopped making 'proper' music I felt I needed a bit of an outlet for my creativity. Weird SoundCloud producer Ideaot suggested that some in the phenomenon came from the YouTube Poop scene. In a January 2014 interview, DJ Kevin Wang suggested weird SoundCloud has 'been around in the last one to two years,' but started to gain much popularity the previous year through electronic dance music internet blogs.
