I just mentioned gabber and breakcore (“music from 25 years ago”) because those are genres that people typically consider a bit too much. I could have name-dropped the SVBKVLT label [1] for a contemporary example of electronic music I like, that might be too much for the average listener; but I don’t think it would have rang a bell for most people on HN… Anyway, I was never really “down with the kids” per se in terms of pop music - I found the genre too vapid for my taste. But it was at least some sort of music. These TikTok soundbytes (I would consider “music” a misnomer) on the other hand are downright sonic torture devices straight from some MKUltra mind-control cookbook.
