Noise issues, overload and... breakcore?

Okay, so this is weird.

I seriously don't do loud environments. My speech discrimination goes to shit with a bunch of background noise, and if I get into overly-spiky crowd noise (eg. loud bars / parties, with everyone yelling over each other and echoing off the walls), I rapidly overload and need to GTFO before I break down.

So why in the purple fuck is frantic glitchy breakcore the most soothing thing in the universe?

I've been listening to stuff like femtanyl recently, and the more IYTGKIUFUYGLICGXJYUGJTYUFLIHFUYGKJKHJGHYTFTJGHFDYGFDJHCHTRF it gets, the more it feels like my brain is sinking into a warm bath. It's like brown noise, but moreso.

Tha heck is going on?

Anyone relate?

  • (this is all from an outsider, so grain of salt)

    • is something like Coffitivity as much of a stressor?
    • in the same vein, does Adriano Celentano’s faux English Prisencolinensinainciusol cause as many problems?
    • how are you with true noise – white noise, pink noise, brown noise?
    • my guess, with breakcore and the like, you know there’s a level of coherency and your subconscious can hear it whereas with crowd noise, not only are you fighting the volume levels, but your subconscious is expecting a level of coherency (triggered by snippets intelligible words, phrases, phonemes) that doesn’t exist and it is exhausting itself trying to “make it make sense” – your mind is attempting to piece unmatched jigsaw puzzle pieces together at very high speed
