@Felthry is it, like, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxz6jShW-3E kind of thing? content warnings for music with lyrics and also potentially exactly the kind of percussion y'all find painful
I remember in that video they talk about a drum sound that "just cuts right through the track" - it's loud and distorted and clippy and then it's gone
I think the speculation elsewhere in the thread is accurate - some people like it because they find it more exciting than painful

@packbat don't have the spoons to check that right now but there are links elsewhere in the thread to examples--i think i linked holly to a few

@packbat https://youtu.be/39OmzYyQ_dQ?t=650 this is one of the links and the other one was actually in a DM, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i60SXLaLI48

@packbat i don't know, whatever it is is even worse than the first one on our ears

@Felthry *nods*
both pieces sound to us like the intended effect was being a dramatic buildup as opposed to chill and relaxing
I don't think we'll speculate on why they impacted y'all the way they did - we'll try not to recommend music that has that kind of vibe to y'all, though

@Felthry the first one, we're definitely noticing a very intense sidechain effect - the sound ducks out really strongly and then comes back
the second, we ... can't tell? that's kind of interesting - maybe hearing the distinction is something we'll pick up when we mess with actual electronic music production some
