The layout and design is a matter of taste. I actually find websites like OP refreshing to see. Blasting music or sound on auto play when you aren't directly navigating to audio or video content is just rude. It's the same as playing your speaker on the subway.

This is my problem with it. Put in a mute button if you're going to do this, otherwise it's just user hostile. No problem with stylized websites and fun animations.

  You can mute tabs in browsers for the last 10 years or so, no?

    Not as easily on mobile, and audio playback on mobile also pause other audio sources as well.

      That's a good point, yes. I generally read on my desktop, so I missed that possibility.
