I refer to Friendly and Unfriendly noise. When I was younger I was more interested in Unfriendly noise because in retrospect it was a form of machismo and was a fine way of amplifying all my antisocial feelings.
However, getting older and living in NYC has made the constant rattle of bad noise, as Phleghmscope notes above, not something I need to purchase.
Most of it I find really borign now. That said, there is something impressive about the sheer absolute and unrelenting aural destruction of say Giffoni or Prurient. But I don't really have any need to bring it into my home. there's already enough fucking noise pollution.
