What is music, what is not?

Yes, it's music. Really really bad, but yes.

What's so awful about it? I understand that it's not accessible, but it's such a powerhouse of emotion and theatrics that I can't help but love it. I don't even know the lyrics, but I think they're focused around suicide.

Oh ****! You speak Japanese don't you? Can you translate this?

Lol no. I have no idea what he's screaming about. Just a couple words here and there. I don't think he's trying to communicate.

What's awful about it? The same thing that's awful about nattou: I don't like it.

I don't understand how that's music. I'm open minded to an explanation if you'd like to edumacate me. It's silence and yelling, it sounds like a movie clip or something.

Well, it's an (mostly) a capella piece. Haino just has a very harsh and distinctive approach to vocals. With that in mind, it's really no different from being music than this

He hits a few notes here and there

Those pieces are vastly different to me. I could easily say Captain Beefheart is an a cappella piece, he's actually singing while in Haino(even ignoring the silence) there is no semblance of singing, or even a poor attempt at singing. He's just yelling.

It's no different from a punk singer or anything like that really, except he goes into parts where it sounds like he's crying. It's just another take on vocals, like Haino had read a description of what the blues were like but never actually listened to the genre.

What would you call these

Frown sometimes you just make me feel stupid or that you're just insane. You confuse me and get me to think about stuff, but most of the time I end up feeling wrong that I disagree with you because I'm just not comprehending it. You're sinister.
