For what purpose? For what purpose does it exist? Is it supposed to make you feel sick to your core? Is it supposed to make you take a look in the mirror and come to terms with the ugliness of mankind? Or is it made with genuine enthusiasm surrounding the subject matter by its creator?
Is there even a purpose at all?
I'm asking more about power electronics in general, not just this album specifically. I can appreciate the music and I would consider myself a "fan", but I just don't get the point, if there's even a point to get, or if it deserves any attention at all?
it's supposed to make you realize what a dumb faggot you are
For the same reasons that true crime stories, horror films and the deep web draw peoples' interest. That album is particularly fucking nasty though.
Ballerina struck a nerve with me but the rest of the album is pretty awful musically. There are much, much more enjoyable P.E. records.
Power electronics and harsh noise are pretty much the nu-metal of "experimental" music, don't overanalyze them.
It's just corny pseudo-provocative shit for teenagers who want to feel edgy but are too pretentious to allow themselves to just listen to Korn or Napalm Death or some shit.
There's a reason why all this music is in its own little subcultural ghetto and gets next to no coverage from more credible and robust sources of left-field music coverage.

>I just don't get the point, if there's even a point to get
do you mean, like, the atmosphere or the """"message"""" that the artist is trying to convey?
there are a bunch of artists who are obviously just kids fucking around with gear, but other artists definitely do have some kind of vision with what they're creating.
prurient is goat.

An accurate assessment. Power electronics are juvenile tripe. The whole thing has more in common with Cannibal Corpse than it does with J.G. Ballard.
It all feels like retarded metalheads trying their best to imitate SPK and Neubauten without realizing what made those bands provocative and compelling in the first place.

Prurient is also juvenile tripe, it's just that his work is reminiscent less of Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus and more of Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails which I suppose is slightly less moronic and slightly more "intelligent".
Can someone explain to me why you guys consider P.E. "juvenile tripe"
Mikko Aspa here, ask me anything.

>autists and dipshit goths in balaclavas and/or black leather screaming about rape, serial killers, nazis and sadomasochism over simplistic and one-dimensional industrial soundscapes
it is truly a mystery why people don't give this thought-provoking and finely crafted music the respect it deserves
Exploration of a topic. Like a book or a documentary or a movie if you're not brain-dead and one sided in your interpretation of media.
