ok, here i want to know how people blur audio. how people do this i've got no clue. is there "vst" for this?

I don't understand what effect you mean. Do you have an example?

Temporal blur ? ... http://freesound.org/people/digifishmusic/packs/2395/

aka "Time stretching" , e.g. PaulStretch ... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=paulstretch+music

i know it's stretched. what i don't know is what effects are used in that one.

Yeah, that is the good old "paulstretch" effect, which Timbre mentioned above.

Audacity has this built in as an effect, but you can also get the paulstretch program on its own (it's a little outdated, but still works wonders) from here:

dBlue Glitch VST has a stretcher, along with many other effects

version 1 of Glitch VST is available for free ... http://illformed.org/

Don't forget that most DAWs already have their own built in audio stretching: Ableton Live, Reaper and Reason all have their version of audio stretching and offer different algorithms.
The algorithms sound different and are more appropriate for different types of material. But sometimes using the 'wrong' algorithm or over-stretching can (sometimes) introduce interesting glitches/artifacts.

The in-DAW stretch does not go as far as paulstretch.
So you may need to render the audio and them re-stretch again.
