A stutter loop is the playing of a very fast clip, usually a few milliseconds in length played over and over for added effect and annoyingness. The sound generates the effect in this. Most of the time, the clip will be of somebody saying a word, with a hard consonant or syllable cut out (Such as "Wha" from "What?" or "Na" from Now). It can also be a swishing effect played over and over for a rather strange effect. Occasionally the clip will be sped up or slowed down at random times during the loop.

Variations
Lock-up
Similar to a Stutter Loop but goes on for nearly the entire duration of the video. Similar to a PC locking up (crashing) mid way through playing a sound file. Slight variations are also common to suggest subliminal interference and serve to encourage viewer to watch the entire piece for fear of missing an important moment.
