Does this sound like music or ear rape?(EAR RAPE WARNING) How about this?(AGAIN, EAR RAPE WARNING)
I cannot determine a meaning or point from these songs other than an enjoyment of going deaf. I don't like post-hardcore because of the crushed nut vocals and the generic riffs, but I can determine a meaning or purpose to exist from the few songs I've heard. I don't like Nickelback because they're generic and boring, but I can recognize them as music. Same for A$AP's Rocky and Ferg, boring as stuff, but I still consider them music. The the first track I linked I can't even consider music, the second just barely, only because there's a discernible drum beat that the other instrumentalists don't even stay on. They're literally both just noise. There's no point in defending the existence of either other than to obliterate ears and scare the piss out of people with.
I wouldn't be so sure; I really like the first one, and it definitely exists because of someone's musical vision. Just because you think nobody can or should like something, or that it has no value, doesn't mean that nobody can or should like something, and should believe it has no value too.
(I do hate the second one though, the researchogrind I've heard seems to exist to be offensive and for shock value, there's no musical/artistic merit to that imo; that intention really comes through for me when I try to listen to it)
PS Thanks for introducing me to Prurient, I'm really enjoying them so far
