* ''Series/MagnificentCenturyKosem'': "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7x2_gr0bTo&list=RDt7x2_gr0bTo&start_radio=1 Saltanat Müziği]]" as Kosem's leitmotif becomes used later in the series as she slowly becomes DrunkWithPower and starts to shift from a pure-hearted IdealHeroine to [[PragmaticHero the hardened and pragmatic Haseki Sultan]] and finally to [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen the ruthless empress of the Ottoman Empire.]] The soundtrack is mostly used in scenes where she enters a scene to amplify how intimidating her presence can be or when she wins against her enemies.

** The Pillar Men have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUhVCoTsBaM a theme]] mixing electronic and [[RegionalRiff arabic]] music with some {{rotten|RockAndRoll}} riffs here and there. Their battle themes, [[https://youtu.be/XR10jZsuTEs Elephant]] [[https://youtu.be/ebEyXDq7JPM Talk]], also are dubstep-filled madness.

* ''VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus'' is set in a FantasyCounterpartCulture of 19th century Hokkaido, and appropriately the soundtrack has mostly Japanese-themed instrumentation. However, two tracks move dramatically away from that:
** In the finale of the main story, one of [[OlympusMons Dialga or Palkia, the lords of Time and Space]], goes insane and reverts to a freakish "Origin Forme" resembling a deformed version of [[{{God}} Arceus]]. This causes its previously slow, majestic battle music with [[SavedByTheChurchBell heavenly bells]] to abruptly switch to fast-paced {{Eurobeat}}.
** The post-game {{Superboss}} fight against the avatar of Arceus itself is a {{Glitch}} remix of its (already unnerving) theme from ''Diamond & Pearl'', which starts subtle but gradually devolves into unpredictable pauses, tempo changes and audio distortions.
* ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' has two examples:
** Team Skull have a techno punk GenreMotif, which fits the group of thugs and delinquents like a glove.
** The [[EldritchAbomination Ultra Beasts]] have nearly all of the tracks associated with them has synthesizers as the main instruments to emphasize their alien and dangerous nature.

** In ''VideoGame/SonicCD'''s Japanese version, all of the BadFuture themes are techno.

** Infinite's theme from ''VideoGame/SonicForces'' is a BoastfulRap set to hardcore dubstep, and his battle themes are all {{Boss Remix}}es in a similar style, but more fast-paced and intense[[note]]the sole exception is the theme that plays during the final confrontation against him, which is an (admittedly still bombastic) orchestral piece[[/note]]. Metal Sonic's boss theme also leans into this, being a dubstep-heavy remix of the [[VideoGame/SonicCD Stardust Speedway Bad Future]] theme.

** Allegro is a [[PandaingToTheAudience panda]] who brainwashes everyone to [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul make them happy]]. His own world is a giant rave party. In a nice touch, the rave music progressively turns into dubstep the more Allegro's physical body is damaged.

* The Pillar Men from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure: Battle Tendency'' have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUhVCoTsBaM a theme]] mixing electronic and [[RegionalRiff arabic]] music with some {{rotten|RockAndRoll}} riffs here and there. Their battle themes, [[https://youtu.be/XR10jZsuTEs Elephant]] [[https://youtu.be/ebEyXDq7JPM Talk]], also are dubstep-filled madness.

** In ''G'': "Distorted Mirror Shénshòujìng" is a dubstep song backed by [[OminousLatinChanting ominous moans]], sung by a BrainwashedAndCrazy {{Yandere}}. While the Chinese "truth-revealing mirror" at the core of her armour is a fairly minor Relic normally unsuited for combat, the obsession which she pours into her singing warps it into a dangerous weapon which "eradicates the false" through AntiMagic laser beams. In other words, [[MemeticMutation it's powered by wub]].

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': To emphasize the alien nature of [[BigBadEnsemble the Diamonds]], their leitmotif is heavy synthesizer beats.

** There's also Rudolf von Stroheim's theme, ''Propaganda'', which is basically eletronic music mixed with MusicToInvadePolandTo. This is a ZigZaggingTrope in the regard that, while Stroheim was introduced as a minor villain, he later joins the protagonists ([[PoliticallyIncorrectHero although he remains a nazi]]).

** In ''G'': "Shénshòujìng, the Distorted Mirror" is a dubstep song, and is sung by a BrainwashedAndCrazy {{Yandere}}.

* In later ''VideoGame/StreetFighter'' titles, electronic music is often (but not always) associated with antagonistic characters.

** Infinite's theme from ''VideoGame/SonicForces'' is a BoastfulRap set to hardcore dubstep, and his battle themes are all {{Boss Remix}}es in a similar style, but more fast-paced and intense. Metal Sonic's boss theme also leans into this, being a dubstep-heavy remix of the [[VideoGame/SonicCD Stardust Speedway Bad Future]] theme.

* [[spoiler: Omega/Photoshop Flowey]]'s theme "Your Best Nightmare" in ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' -- which in itself is a DarkReprise of an upbeat chiptune theme -- is some kind of orchestral/breakcore combination which, combined with [[spoiler:the InterfaceScrew and his [[NonStandardCharacterDesign over-realistic sprites]]]], really inspires an eerie feeling of UncannyValley.

* [[spoiler:TheCollector]]'s [[https://youtu.be/SAqyPwtA970?t=1230 theme]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' is filled with synths and other electronic instruments, in ''sharp'' contrast to the rest of the soundtrack, which only uses orchestral instruments, supplemented with the occasional electric guitar. [[spoiler:This serves to highlight their [[OutsideContextProblem very otherworldly nature]], and illustrates that as a creature that's neither human nor from the Boiling Isles, they pose a ''very'' different kind of threat.]]
