"IīM A TOUGH PERVERTED NOISE FREAK AND I WANT TO KILL EVERYONE"
I know Iīm poking the anthill of the noise "scene" with this article but
I just had to write it. I hope itīll provoke some thoughts, any thoughts
on anyone interested in this subject.
For a long time now Iīve been irritated by this crime/murder image so
many noisers are "marketing". I understand that for some people "extreme music"
demands extreme imagery and extreme thematics but arenīt there any other extreme
things in this world besides massacres and serial killers? Do they always have to
pick up their subjects from corny crime magazines and horror movies and shit like
that? Do you have to try so hard to be hard?
I think most of these bedroom "psychos" are just ridiculous and make the whole
noise thing seem as moronic as death metal or any other bonehead scene where
violence and all dumb shit (fascists anyone?) is glorified or just used for
their controversial value. I think shock value should be used to provoke
thinking (if you have something to say) instead of just being a pathetic
fuck who obviously is swimming in his testosterone or trying to compensate
his lack of confidence. Anyway it doesnīt shock anyone if you use a photo
of a dead person somewhere, it just reveals the "artistīs" IQ and makes noise
look like the entertainment of idiots.
It seems like many people are into noise because itīs so extreme and not because
itīs a form of creating innovative sound. The funniest part is that at least
I donīt even believe most of these people are such "sickos" and "psychos" they
claim (or try) to be in real life. I donīt understand why someone would want
to uphold this fake image. I think itīs quite silly to try to be tough just
because you want to belong to the "noise scene". I donīt know what is it
about noise that lures this kind of behaviour. I see noise as an opportunity
to create unbelievable stuff with millions of possibilities and also as a way
to be an individualist honestly doing just like you want to. Thatīs why itīs
a shame that so many noisers are doing it just like the others, just buy a
crime mag, take the sickest photo and you can be just like other noise
"freaks". What a bore. I donīt know. Thank you for paying attention.
