trippiest
Maximally mind-bending
Trippiest is the superlative of trippy, describing something that most resembles or evokes a psychedelic drug experience—vivid, disorienting, surreal.
The word applies to visual art, music, films, or experiences that feel hallucinatory or mind-bending: That was the trippiest movie I've ever seen.
Often used casually without any actual drug reference.
