In the years since 2014, the country has seen the rise of alternate, crude, ultra-religious musical subgenres of "underground music" like “Hindu trance”, “Hindu trap”, “Hindu pop” and others that are today played across the public events and celebrations such as Kanwar yantras, election rallies, and even Hindu satsang events. Sociologists, political commentators, and art historians have construed this trend as a direct attack on the secular nature and history of Indian lyricism and music. Easily classified under the wider umbrella of “Hindutva pop” or "saffron pop", these soundtracks mix techno and dance beat with violent and communal lyrics invoking inter-community violence and hate. The songs frequently feature heavy invectives against Pakistan, amplify the supreme power of Hindu gods like Ram, and use problematic communal slogans and catchy hooks to captivate audiences.
