Anyone here genuinely into his stuff? He's the most well known noise musician so he attracts people from all perspectives, such as curious metalhead normies like krotz, autists who got bored of speedcore, Japanophile such as myself, people who misinterpreted Throbbing Gristle, lamo poneys like Henry Rollins, chads like myself and Trent Reznor and people who took a bunch of acid in 1989 and happened to be in a run down bar in Gensokyo. Whatever your personal perspective is, you can't ignore this name and the impact Merzbow has had on the landscape of music.

Masami Akita and co. pioneered a musical perspective that would shape and alter the landscape of music for the past 30 years and beyond.
