I mean specifically the more avant-garde stuff based around things like feedback loops, distortion, and white noise, like Merzbow or the Incapacitants. I personally consider it valid as music, but exploring different techniques and sensibilities than "normal" music.

Any noise groups/musicians y'all like?

    Part of the appeal to me is when it's really carefully made and deliberate, yet still sounding all cacophonous and harsh. Maybe it's how confident the artist has to be, just unabashedly making noise. I haven't been to a show yet but maybe it's something to explore once there are live shows again.
