But as with all the genres/subgenres I'm not into, I feel it's a waste of time I could be using to do other, more important or enjoyable things to try to get into genres I do not like. That may be my loss, certainly. It is also my choice.

Here's a short example of experimental / noise music that's a bit easier to digest:
There's still a strong musical element here but the sounds and mood are still wildly abrasive. Let the music get under your skin, turn off your lights and use headphones if you're willing to. What's interesting about Pharmakon's music is that it's extremely empowering for her, but extremely confrontational and almost humiliating for her listeners, especially new listeners, even more apparent in her live performances where she often skulks off stage into the audience and literally screams in their faces, her eyes inches from yours. For her it's about injecting all of her visceral and primal emotions into the music (this album was written during her recovery from massive surgery), for the listener it's about confronting those emotions and letting them sink in, learning to appreciate intense experiences whether they're positive or negative, it's not about feeling good or bad necessarily, it's just about feeling a lot. I don't want to throw albums at you, I know your queue is seemingly endless, but I think Pharmakon's Bestial Burden is a fantastic entry into this kind of music. It was even featured on Rolling Stone Magazine's website upon release, that's very rare for music like this.

I'm surprised you don't know the album, there's so much more where that came from, man. Please track down a copy of Bestial Burden in any format possible, if that track resonated with you the album will enter your highest ranks, at least in this style, one of my all-time favorites fo sho, absolutely terrifying.

Of course I love birdsong, whalesong, the sound of rain, even humming can be relaxing. But I don't like loud, discordant, static-ish noise.

To me noise and expiremental music is best listened to when I'm looking to be disturbed not by a poet or songwriter and their daily turmoil, but instead through sound. I like music that's ugly and twisted so noise music really fits the bill for me. Like listening to Totem by White Suns in a pitch black room with my eyes wide open and volume all the way up was an absolutely brutal expirience and one I don't think I'll be able to recreate with the same magic. Like a bunch of people have said before me, it's less about the structure or visibility of the piece, but instead the overwhelming apocalyptic nature a lot of harsh noise music can grasp. Where I'll listen to punk to get out energy, or listen to pop when I'm happy, I listen to noise when I want something that hurts that actually forms a negitive reaction inside of me. Call it masochistic, but it works.
