When I first started listening to powerviolence and grindcore, I was in high school. In the Toronto punk scene, bands like the Endless Blockade played alongside bands I would be at the show to watch, like Brutal Knights. So I was exposed to them early on compared to a lot of people, I think.
At the time, I didn't like it at all. I did not like the Endless Blockade. It didn't sound like music to me. It didn't even sound good, or like something anybody in their right mind would want to listen to. For the rest of my youth, I spent noisy bands' sets sitting outside or at the back of the venue, drinking. I deeply regret this now.
When I was about 19 or 20, I heard WWF Rematch at Cow Palace at a friend's house and freaked. Who was this amazing band and how had I never heard of them? They were so LOUD and I loved it, how could I have missed this band for so long? My older friend Alain explained to me that they were one of the genres he thought I disliked, since I had told him so.
I went home confused that day and eventually downloaded an Endless Blockade album (sorry guys, bought it since). To my surprise I liked it too! In fact I loved it.I loved how noisy and angry it was, and I loved that it didn't follow the traditional rules of music but still sounded good to me. But then I was even more confused. How could I have disliked this band (and genre) so much before, only to decide now I loved them?
My only possible explanation is that perhaps the human brain and aural system evolves as we age, and whereas before I only heard noise when one of these bands was playing, now I can hear that it is music, there's a beat or some sort of predictability - that's what allows me to like it.
Any ideas? Or you could just call me a poser because I didn't like Spazz from the womb.
