If I were motivated to do so, I could set up a room microphone while having someone browse TikTok, then compress the shit out of the recording to bring out the details, and make harsh noise out of that recording.
So I think noise musicians can approach the auditory torture of existing in a room with a TikTok viewer, but as a gesture of goodwill have held back their full power…
nah it’s the performance that gives it the extra oomph.
With noise music I can just, turn it off, and the track has a set length and will end eventually.
Person scrolling tik tok next to you? Feels awkward to approach them and tell them to stop. Some videos loop a short tune, some videos just keep looping as they read the text on the screen, obnoxious constant high energy voices beam from the speakers, and there is no end in sight, no rest, you never know if their next video has a wall of text forcing you to listen to the same sentence/melody 10 times in a row, or if they’ll skip something mid sentece. It’s a constant auditory nightmare
