So I'm writing an article for my school newspaper about

Definitely defer to Hybrid Noisebloom as the best the genre has to offer. Harsh noise music sounds very nihilistic to me, and can sometimes change my viewpoint to reflect that sound. Hope you have success with your article!

Depending on the harsh noise, I find to be very meditative and anxiety relieving.

a lot of people use it as a sort of 'palette cleanser', if that makes any sense.

>how do you guys listen to harsh noise or noise music in general? Did it have an effect towards your mindset?

Well, like any other kind of music I've enjoyed over the years, harsh noise struck me the most. Obviously, not all noise is good. I've listened to lots of bands that fail miserably at it. But those are just a few.

I enjoy it just like any other extreme music genre (hardcore, metal, etc). I love the dynamics, textures and atmospheres that set a certain mood. What kind of mood? I can't exactly tell you why... it's fun and in some way, a stress reliever; it really helps. One of my favorite noise projects would be Macronympha, since they experimented with lots of tape manipulation. Pedestrian Deposit is also a personal favorite and a big influence in me, since this guy incorporated ambient interludes in noise, innovating the genre itself.

There's a world out there. It's fascinating.

Does it give you a feeling of something like catharsis?

>>70964450
It does, yes. Few noise bands/projects have managed to do this, in my own personal experience, of course. But that's not the only reason I listen to it, as I said earlier, it's fun or interesting "music" to me. There is something visceral and a lack of association with a period or any other genre.

who are some artists that make good harsh noise?

I use Pulse demon with earplugs to drown out conversations and be able to read books when I can't find a quiet place.

Tell your mother she's a whore, you'll hear some harsh noise after that.

It's good for stress relief and for ambiance
