ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Noise music

Okay kiddo, so there’s a type of music called “noise music”. Instead of playing pretty melodies or singing lyrics, noise music uses lots of different sounds that don’t always sound nice together.

Imagine you’re in a kitchen and your mommy is making dinner. You can hear the sound of water boiling, the sizzle of food cooking, someone chopping vegetables, and maybe even the sound of a timer going off. Now imagine, instead of these sounds going together nicely, they’re all happening at the same time in a big jumbled mess.

That’s what noise music can sound like. It’s not always something that people think sounds good, but some people really like it because of how different and unique it is. It can also make people feel different emotions, like excitement or confusion.

So, just like how some people like certain types of food, some people like noise music. It’s all about personal preference.
