"Cavalcade of Glee and Dadaist Happy Hardcore Pom Poms" is a breakcore album by Venetian Snares. It sees Aaron Funk take a more structured approach after the sometimes abrasive last album "Meathole" and also using largely synths and acidic sounds with frenetic drum rhythms to create a more melodic approach than many of his albums.

"Donut" and "P" both have an 11/4 time signature; this is unusual even for Venetian Snares, whose songs are primarily in 7/4 time. "Swindon" contains a sample of a female voice saying "Someone in Leicester got stabbed in a club with, like, a syringe full of AIDS blood". The track is named after a the English town of Swindon, in Wiltshire. The title of the third track, "Pwntendo", is a portmanteau of the gaming slang word "pwn" and the name of the video game company Nintendo. "Pwntendo" is the first use of the Wayfar.net Midines cart on a studio album.

"P" is an unusual track on this album; contrary to the harsh breakcore beats of the other tracks, "P" is rather subdued, containing no percussion whatsoever, only a repeated ambient melody.
