This.

I don't think it's a weird kind of music, but this music annoys me too. Heavy Metal gives me headaches and stress. I can't say that to Heavy Metal fans because they get angry, they think it's my problem, that I can't appreciate the "best kind of music of this world", bleh...

It is just your problem because its not like your Taylor Swifts and Justin Bieber's, it's still going strong.

I think The Residents take the cake. It doesn't fall under any genre other than weird. It isn't just the "music" either. They are also visual artists and every "song" has an ultra-bizarro mind-raping video to go along with it.

The proper term for such "weird" music is avant-garde or experimental music.

Yea, and that kind of stuff has actually been around for a long time (since the 60s at least). I only discovered The Residents because Les Claypool of Primus is a fan of them.

My daughter is a fan of They Might Be Giants, who also covered "Constantinople", and she's a a fan of things weird in general. I bet she'd love this version.

Tibetan Throat Singing. Then I'm sure there are some Tibetan people who think the music that I listen to is weird. So the point is moot.

They're my dad's favorite band.

Anything made with an instrument called "Yamaha TENORI-ON"

It's not bizarre, but just a different and cool method of making music.

Death/Black metal may not be necessarily "weird" but it definitely scares the crap out of me :shaking:

I know given how noise music has developed now, this might not sound very weird. I also know that experimental classical musicians were doing this earlier. There are contextual reasons why it is weird though:

1. 1974 (Metal Machine Music was 1975)
2. 18 year old Pete Shelley (that's the Buzzcocks guy) - this is kind of like discovering Celine Dion's early forays into black metal
3. Recorded to annoy people attending a music society at Bolton polytechnic, of all places.

I did some postgrad study at Bolton uni (it's now a university) a few years back. This record makes me wish I was there in 1974 instead.

Yeah. I mean, some of the things I like might fall under it, but I do dislike 'ironic' music and trends.

I don't understand why hipsters use the word "ironic" constantly

Why are they ironic?

I don't think I even fully understand what "ironic" means.

Me neither, to be honest.

I don't know how to embed a video.
(If someone would please explain it, I'd be appreciative.)

Go to YouTube and search for Conlon Nancarrow. He was a unique chap who composed music for player pianos. There is no way to describe how varied and how bizarre his compositions are. Some are almost hypnotic, while others can clear a room in nothing flat. Imagine out of control robots playing the piano in anger.

Guess I've just gotten used to it.

They have been making it since the 60s.

Maybe I'm so weird it doesn't seem weird to me.

I also don't really consider noise Music weird since a lot of people don't even consider it Music. A perfect example is Merzbow.

I've been listening to Merzbow a bit funnily enough. After a while, it doesn't register as weird.

Creating noise seems like a logical experiment to undertake with sound, anyway.
