As far as I can hear, any no-talent hack group can put together a bunch of trash can banging and over-loud machine-generated noise and claim it's music.
Let's hear someone put together something you can listen or dance to other than in a rave, zonked out on X.

(Youtube link to 'Chilldren of Bodom - Are You dead yet?'
They should have named the song 'Are You Deaf Yet?' It more-or-less confirms what I said in the quote from me.
