Fuzz (stylized FUZZ, short for Super Hip-Notic Trans-A-Phonic GroovalisticprosiFUZZtication) is an audiovisual aesthetic and alternate universe created by Convexity that the Telefuzz label and community follows. Fuzz first made an appearance in Convexity's 2023 proto-fizz song FUZZSTEP. The aesthetic of Fuzz is derived from several points of inspiration, primarily P-Funk Mythology, as well as analog horror, vaporwave, and retrofuturism.
In the lore of Fuzz, Jae, the protagonist represented by Convexity, continually sends transmissions from ***** County, an unnamed oppressive regime that exhibits supernatural control over the region and clamps down any dissent. ***** County is a metaphor for the corporate consolidation of electronic dance music and the continued direction of risk aversion that prevents Fuzz from propagating. After receiving a decree from Dr. Funkenstein to be their own label, Jae created Telefuzz to distribute Fuzz as widely as possible, rescue refugees from ***** County (now otherwise known as the Zone of Zero FUZZativity), and start a revolution against THE MACHINE that represents the County government.
After the debut of the fizz genre, Fuzz adopted the values of Dark Fizz / Fizz Extremism, especially its anti-establishment ideology. The finalized tenets of Fuzz after the debut of Telefuzz include Extreme Information Density, Endless Pursuit of THE ONE (FUZZentelechy, analogous to The Thing), Mogging Slopbots (The Placebo Syndrome), and Rejection of Corpsloplidation (The Zone of Zero FUZZativity).
