Line 80:
* When The Melvins are playing to a particularly unappreciative audience (especially if they're playing at a festival where everyone's really waiting for the big name acts), they've been known to just break into an endless, deliberately irritating noise jam in order to get everyone to leave. If only a few people are left, ''then'' sometimes they start playing actual songs. ''The Colossus Of Destiny'' was essentially their attempt to replicate this on record. ''Chicken Switch'', a remix album heavy on contributions from experimental noise artists, also probably applies.
* Some of Mike Patton's more out-there material, most notably the album ''Adult Themes For Voice'', which is nothing but 40-odd minutes of Patton making strange and often abrasive and/or startling vocal noises into a tape recorder and warping the results.
* [[Weird Al Yankovic|"Weird Al" Yankovic]]'s album ''Off the Deep End'': 10 minutes [[Hidden Track|after the last track ends comes]] "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLAsXTBVjXc Bite Me]", the "most annoying six seconds of audio ever recorded" to [[Last-Note Nightmare|scare the listener who forgot to turn off the CD player]].
* ''[http://frankiesmileshow.blogspot.com/2008/09/poppenkast-games.html The Sad, Sad Tale of Finnsworth, Private Eye In Space]''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD3-f14Spk8 Video]. HE'S A [[Private Detective|PRIVATE EYE]] [[Recycled in Space|IN SPAAAAACE]]!! AND HE'S GOT [[Space Whale|SCALES ALL OVER HIS BODY]]!! [[Crowning Music of Awesome|HE'S A PRIVATE EYE IN SPACE,]] [[So Bad It's Good|FIGHTING FOR HIS LIIIIIII-FE]]!!
* Present in ''Flywrench'' where the background music is mostly distorted noise.
* Much ''[[Silent Hill]]'' music.
** Like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liJfyxmzkMQ Prayer] from ''[[Silent Hill 3]]''.
* [[Alice in Chains (Music)|Alice in Chains]] has a track on their ''Sap'' album called "Love Song." The song starts off a slow piano melody with vocals coughing and snorting for the accompaniment while a back up vocalist makes wailing sounds. When the lyrics start, they're sung through a megaphone while the rest of the band wails on their instruments.
* [[Nirvana (Music)|Nirvana]] has two songs on their ''[[In Utero]]'' album that fits this trope, "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter" and "Tourette's."
* When this trope is applied to video game remixes, you get [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odFcS8Sg8Qw& this.]
* Most music in pirated Nintendo games.
Line 112:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A7EaYzZ5Gs PBS's "Tri-color Everyman P-Heads From Hell" logo] from 1971 to 1984.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHyxC5PoaOU WGBH] (AKA the "Zooming WGBH of Doom" and "Neon Lines and Flash of Doom")
* [http://www.johnmurphygames.com/?page_id=175 Acid Couch], a [[Journey to Thethe Center of Thethe Mind]] of a character having a bad drug experience.
* The last few seconds of [[Lady Gaga]]'s disturbing but watchable video for "Alejandro," in which her face suddenly melts inwards with a loud bubbling/screaming sound.
** It's supposed to be the "tape" ripping.
