Adult Swim

Adult Swim is not a musical artist but the late-night programming block of the American cable channel Cartoon Network, launched in the early 2000s in Atlanta, Georgia. It airs adult-oriented animation and comedy, including shows such as «Robot Chicken», «Rick and Morty», «Squidbillies» and «Aqua Teen Hunger Force», and has become known for a distinct comedic, surreal and often absurdist sensibility that carries over into its music output.

Musically, Adult Swim is best known for the «Adult Swim Singles» program, a recurring series releasing free tracks from a wide range of artists spanning rap, rock, drum and bass, heavy metal and experimental genres, reflecting the block's eclectic, boundary-crossing identity rather than a single genre or sound.

Many of the tracks credited to Adult Swim are original songs, bumpers and theme music created for its shows — pieces like «Too Many Cooks» and the «Aqua Teen Hunger Force» opening became cult favorites in their own right, spreading online independently of the shows that spawned them and cementing Adult Swim's reputation as a tastemaker at the intersection of animation, comedy and music.
