I agree with that. What I'm thinking about is more how music affects those who are used to listening to all manner of underground material. That Daugters album, for example, would probably have seemed really offensive in some way to me 20 years ago, but now it's nothing new. I've listened to albums that are just straight up screaming and noise, so it's nothing surprising on that level. Seems to me that music has to focus on being actually very well made to have any impact on me, since the act of making abrasive music in itself is unimpressive when you've heard it done so many times before. I like that Daughters album because it's so creative and artfully made.
