Okay, so this is weird.

I seriously don’t do loud environments. My speech discrimination goes to shit with a bunch of background noise, and if I get into overly-spiky crowd noise (eg. loud bars / parties, with everyone yelling over each other and echoing off the walls), I rapidly overload and need to GTFO before I break down.

So why in the purple fuck is frantic glitchy breakcore the most soothing thing in the universe?

I’ve been listening to stuff like femtanyl recently, and the more IYTGKIUFUYGLICGXJYUGJTYUFLIHFUYGKJKHJGHYTFTJGHFDYGFDJHCHTRF it gets, the more it feels like my brain is sinking into a warm bath. It’s like brown noise, but moreso.

Tha heck is going on?

Anyone relate?

    Yeah, it’s a proper thing. Supported by science and all that jazz. I love it. I’ve got tattoos to show my love for music (people always see em and ask “what instrument do you play?” They are always hella confused when I reply with “none”), it was nice finding out years after as to just why music is so important for me. It literally regulates my brain if I pick the right stuff.

        I get that. And I have dabbled with making music. But I would never call myself a musician, producer, whatever. It’s kinda corny given the source but, Fred Durst said it best for me when he said “music is key/it’s the way we’re set free/from all this world is throwing at me”. I’m 38. Music has been central to my identity for 30yrs now.

      Any chance you have a source for any of that science or jazz? Would love to read more
