Jack Stauber is an American independent musician, animator, and visual artist known for his surreal, "lo-fi" aesthetic and viral internet presence. Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he has gained a massive following for blending catchy, avant-pop music with unsettling yet nostalgic animations.
Key Artistic Features
VHS Aesthetic: He is famous for a "retraux" visual style. He often draws characters in Microsoft Paint, sequences them, and then runs the finished footage through a physical VHS tape to achieve authentic analog distortion and grain.
Mixed Media: His work utilizes various animation techniques, including claymation, stop-motion, 3D CGI (Blender), and live-action.
Vocal Range: Stauber is known for a highly flexible voice, frequently jumping between deep, distorted growls and high-pitched falsettos to voice different characters.
Micropop: He popularized a format of "micropop"—extremely short songs (often 30–60 seconds) that accompany his social media animations. Many of these are later expanded into full-length tracks.
Notable Works
Albums: His most recognized albums include Pop Food (2017), featuring the viral hit "Buttercup," and HiLo (2018).
Adult Swim Collaborations: He has created several acclaimed shorts for Adult Swim, including SHOP: A Pop Opera and the psychological musical horror film OPAL.
Internet Memes: Many of his tracks, such as "Oh Klahoma" and "Buttercup," became major trends on platforms like TikTok and YouTube.
In 2020, his unique contributions to internet culture earned him the Shorty Award for Best in Weird.
