Re: List of most popular noise artists/noise history
Who is popular in noise these days? I’ve been watching the WNC podcasts and listening to NoiseExtra interviews and those have been great. I haven’t gotten to their year end episodes yet- I just wanted your opinions.

Re: List of most popular noise artists/noise history
Food for thought: the guests featured on those podcasts are generally chosen more based on the hosts’ connections than on some broad gauge of overall popularity. I think WCN, Phage, S&W, etc. all do fine work, but at the end of the day they’re businesses working with what they have: they’re not a Supreme Court for quality assurance. We’re in an interesting time because live shows have yet to come back to the same level of prominence pre-pandemic. I think once touring starts coming back, we’ll have a better picture of which people are putting in the most effort and which people keep getting invited back to perform: I think that may be a better gauge of popularity when combined with online impressions, rather than just blind impressions alone.

Re: List of most popular noise artists/noise history
Veering off topic: I only recently discovered the WCN channel on youtube. I really like the format. The interview with Vomir was really enjoyable, and the host himself seems genuinely enthusiastic and likable. But overall, a lot of the interviewees just remind me of what I dislike about "noise bros" and the whole tattoos-and-black-tees, world-weary, jaded put-on/needy, stimulation-addicted manchild sulking thing that's so prevalent within noise circles.

Re: List of most popular noise artists/noise history
I think it's cos noise is very identity centric. for a few reasons: the emphasis in DIY; the relative obscurity of it; the themes haha... and for some reason this ends up with everyone actively neglecting their identity / personality, in a strange/ironic decentering of the person.

Re: List of most popular noise artists/noise history
I haven't heard it!
I really have trouble with any motivation to keep up with new releases, so it's mostly done through hearing from a select few artists via email newsletters and seeing new releases pop up on Discogs.
I might like to give it a listen when I can though.

It can be! Though I really mean that in regards to all music.
