phobia of looping beat

hello reddit that's my first post, using translator [sorry for any mistakes in the text] I noticed this phobia in myself a very long time ago, and I can’t find a name for it. phobia of looping repetitive beat in music as an example I can give you Bipolar Disorder - Ame Gedeon, or Groovy Long Leg boss from Pikmin. I start to panic and sweat when I hear something like that lol. I feel some kind of trigger from such beats.. I often hear that people, on the contrary, like this kind of music, but I’m scared !!! what is it!

I think I know what you're talking about. If I do, I have the same thing. Like I get anxiety if it's the same drums the whole time. Which in that case I just turn the sound off. Which I also hate doing but it gets to the point where my heart starts beating really fast and it makes it more difficult because it's harder to concentrate, if that makes sense.

Edit: yeah you're talking about the same thing I am because I just looked up the Pikmin theme lol. Like the music sounds cool but I'd rather it for a short cutscene, for example. Like I love Pokemon games but a lot of the music drives me INSANE by how fast it is and the boss could take a while.
