Krushclub

Krushclub (stylized as KRUSHCLUB!) is an underground musical microgenre that fuses elements of EDM, HexD and Jersey Club, and also incorporates influence from House, Techno, Bit-Pop and Electro-Pop. The music is characterized by its energetic and upbeat rhythm, as well as the bit-crushed synthetizers and basses present in the songs' production. This musical genre is usually accompanied by black and white aesthetic imagery somewhat reminiscent of the Y2K era, particularly through elements like Low Poly visuals, pixelated imagery, lights, hearts, scanline filters, etc.

====Grooming allegations (jnhygs)====
The musical artist jnhygs was also accused of grooming someoneTikTok Video by @molymatkda5. However, there's no direct existent proof surrounding these allegations and is thought to be a TikTok rumor.
==== Racism allegations (Odetari)====
There was also a small attempt to cancel the musical artist Odetari over supposedly "fetishizing" Latin-American women, particularly due to one of his songs being called "I <3 LATINAS". Another attempt to cancel Odetari occured when misheard lyrics containing a slur were found on one of his songs on Spotify, which wasn't Odetari's fault but rather the fault of either an AI or a person attempting to write the lyrics. These incidents have led to people trying to cancel him over being "racist".
