Don't feel bad, plenty of human-made music is awful too.

  Among the many ways of creating good music, one is to crate music that is awful but becomes great through the passage of time and changing tastes. Most of the music that I perform sounds awful to most people. It's kind of funny when it comes up in conversation, people ask me what kind of music I play, and I tell them, then there's that awkward moment when they're trying to think of something nice to say about it. I've figured out the easiest thing to say is: "I play music that most people hate." Sometimes awful music stays awful too.

    I'm intrigued. Anything you can share?

      Experimental, avant garde jazz. Never been recorded.

        If you don't record it, how can it possibly ever become great with passage of time?

          Ah, good point. I'd say the genre can gain traction, and our performances can also evolve as we figure this stuff out ourselves. But the bands that I play with don't tend to record.

    I think most people would put Trout Mask Replica in this category. For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CeLjmIW5wk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CeLjmIW5wk After you give it a listen, consider that it got one of Pitchfork's rare 10/10 reviews and ranks high in many lists of the greatest albums of all time.

      Indeed, my friends and I threw a band together, to cover that album, and quickly discovered that it was impossible, so we turned to punk rock instead.
