Repetitive music has often been negatively linked with Freudian thanatos. Theodor Adorno (1948, p. 178) provides an example in his criticism of Igor Stravinsky, whose, "rhythmic procedures ostinato closely resemble the schema of catatonic conditions. In certain schizophrenics, the process by which the motor apparatus becomes independent leads to infinite repetition of gestures or words, following the decay of the ego." Similar criticism was levelled at Ravel's Bolero.

Wim Mertens (1980, p. 123-124) argues that "In repetitive music, repetition in the service of the death instinct prevails. Repetition is not repetition of identical elements, so it is not reproduction, but the repetition of the identical in another guise. In traditional music, repetition is a device for creating recognizability, reproduction for the sake of the representing ego. In repetitive music, repetition does not refer to eros and the ego, but to the libido and to the death instinct."

Okay so I know people flame stupid things all the time like "rap is not music" "dubstep is not music" etc etc but I am wondering

How can these recordings be classified as music? There is no organization, rhythm, melodies, harmonies...any musical term that comes to mind I don't see how it is applicable. To me these just sound like recordings of crazy laughs/speaking, which could be used as vocal samples but alone and in a discontinuous manner like this I don't understand how this is "music".

This isn't an attempt to troll, I'd like to hear a legitimate response as this is an interesting concept to me

Dubstep really isn't though. It sounds like a child fucking with LFO's on a synth, lol. Shit, I have more respect for Slipknot than I do Dubstep artists.

Well it is music in the sense that it probably defies any other description and for the sake of discussion. There is a point where you could label dark ambient music like the above as soundscapes.

the "being tortured" vocal style
