What got you into avant-garde and experimental music? (ticket, listening to music)

I guess I came to it via two different routes: mostly the industrial/krautrock route but also the Bungle/Zorn route. I guess I've liked some sort of avant-garde/experimental-ish music for a pretty long time. Going back to my teens I listened to stuff like Pigface, Skinny Puppy, Swans, Foetus, Laibach and Mr. Bungle, which if not always 100% experimental, certainly all have their experimental moments. As I got a little older I started to explore the roots of a lot of those bands and also found myself getting more and more into jazz, which added a lot to me appreciation of the experimental and avant-garde. As time went on I found myself listening to more and more experimental music to the point where now it's one of the primary things I listen to.
