I think Anal Cunt just accidentally made something that was justified by fans who called it noisecore. Yes I am aware of Merzbow, and other noise bands like Sunn O))) and Propergol and Darkspace but I feel with all of those bands that there is a much higher level of intelligence and innovation than with Anal Cunt, who I see as a completely mindless band.
Anyway, that's just my opinion.
But I can't, for example, imagine how anyone could be a big fan of Anal Cunt, and buy all their albums and listen to all of them nonstop without feeling irked by the redundancy prevalent in the songs.

I have Two friends on last.fm who are like that. I mean, I find them good, but Nothing Beyond that.

Alrighty then.
 
Well, Burzum's pretty controversial, if the band hasn't been brought up already. Now that is a great band
But it interests me to see people in Norway are much more casual about The Black metal thing than in the early nineties. Kinda cool to see how it's gotten more open-minded over there since the nineties.

Speaking of controversial music and noise, this is awesome.

Warning: This is Merzbow, expect harsh noise.




Wow! That was actually pretty awesome! I'm rather new to the noise genre but I'm enjoying it so far.

Burzum is pretty controversial in its own way. The music was pretty innovative in its time etc but the music didn't support any gruesome, shocking.... Ideas. It was the artist's Ideas that were controversial but he didn't reflect it that explicit in his music

Infinity, read that. It might open your eyes to Seth's real musical goal.
Also, controversy is always nice, shows that a band isn't afraid to put their beliefs out there without a single fuck being given of public consent (Burzum's a good example I suppose) but if bands simply use the controversy as the focal point of their music, it turns the music to shit, mainly because, well, they focus more on writing offensive songs rather than good ones. Anal Cunt and GG Allin are the exceptions because they really did take it to the next level, and their music, lyrics and behavior were all, in their own way, an artistic statement.

PS: Noise music licks dick. Does anyone actually genuinely enjoy the music or to they just like the idea of it?

Same here. I really can't explain why I like it, I just do.

Noise music for me is music without subtext, at its most primal and basic. Note that different noise bands convey totally different feelings and tones and atmospheres in different songs. Why? They have a good understanding of the most basic principles of musical composition and they know how subtlety works. Noise is also 'experience' music, and it can really take you places that other music just doesn't.
 
I will say there are crappy noise bands that think they're 'artsy' and 'super-duper avant-garde', but fail as bands because their music clashes with itself and falls apart.
Maybe you've just heard those guys.

Scientifically, your theory is the exact opposite of the truth. The more pitches and frequencies that overlap in a soundwave, the Closer that sound is to noise. So, in reality, something like Burzum's ambient pieces like "Rundagang" is Closer to music at its most primal and basic.

Oh, and there's Nothing that separates good noise from bad noise, it seems. Have you looked at Merzbow's full discography? The guy has HUNDREDS of releases. Any music that takes that little time to make just doesn't sit well with me. Sure, there are some great albums in music that were spawned very quickly, that needed only a moment to be created, but anyone who does that all the time and isn't named Frank Zappa (and even he only released an album once every 6 months) just doesn't sit well with me. I realize I'm only talking about one band, but Merzbow's basically responsible for the Creation of the entire genre so it's valid enough.
