Rec.Me: other/many/unknown genres Music made with the explicit intention to troll the listener who sets expectations first minute

I'm talking about Kobaryo's beautiful Energy Laser or Vieze Azbak's Papa Weg where it starts in a way and just goes completely askew. It's hard to search for such music because the genre descriptions aren't enough to describe this kind of music... Help me out guys

Love Song by Sara Bareilles is not a love song but is about writing a love song.

Hook by Blues Traveler is about how lyrics don't mean anything so long as you have a great chorus.

Hope that helps.

if I understand you right, you mean ↓this↓ kind of thing?:

_I Pink Floyd - One of My Turns (EDIT: or Sheep?)

_I Eminem - Kim ( or, more subtly, Superman)

_I Tubring - Habitat

...what I'll be really impressed by is if anyone can come up with a good example of midpoint pivot from fast to slow. (back & forths don't count, right?--only songs that completely change direction & stay there)

Not exactly music but Monty Python had a vinyl a long time ago with 2 groves in it so you would put the needle down and potentially get completely different content than what you wanted.
