Mothers Against Noise (M.A.N) is a group of parents concerned by the effects of noise music on their children. But it’s not as simple as it might seems. There are at least 3 different M.A.N websites; respectively .us, .net and .org.
My guess is, if one is legit then it’s the .us. The .org is clearly a protest site against M.A.N and the .net is just a one page copy of the content found in the .us.
Anyway, noise music is a disease and some of the testimonials of the concerned parents are nothing short of appealing:

“The record is by two groups called Nicole 12 and Prurient. It comes with a lyric sheet of some of the most horrid descriptions of pedophilia and fantisies of sex with AIDS patients. And I DO NOT know where this record cover could have been manufactured legally”

Another horrified mother says :

“And I thought Marylin Manson was the sickest thing around. I am just sick to my stomache that things like this exist.”

It gets worse :

“Well as I already said noise has had an adverse effect on both mine and my son’s life, in fact my house almost burnt down because of it:(( Besides that episode there has also been blown speakers on my new stereo, my dog has taken to hiding when my son is home, and my daughter Ella cried all of last halloween because the sounds reminded her of those that emanate from my son’s room.”

The effect of noise on our youth is terrifying really. Hopefully, M.A.N will be the voice of dissent in a world where the music industry has gone mad. Living in Tokyo, i have on occasion, been subjected to noise music. You see Japan can be considered the birth place of modern noise music with such atrocities as Merzbow, Massona, or the dreaded C.C.C.C.
Recently i was conned into going to a live event featuring japanoise “wunderkinds” Zuinosin and Ove Naxx.
It was not pretty to say the least but i’m a grown man with an unusually high tolerance to sonic assaults(this is due to my past career as a professional pachinko player).
One can only wonder the terrible effects those sounds would have on a child.
M.A.N biggest success up until now has been their quasi interuption of a Wolf Eyes show in 2004. There’s a mention of it in this Metrotimes portrait of Wolf Eyes.
I sincerly hope that their efforts won’t stop here. Noise music is much more nefast than just audio pollution as this article points out, it’s Antisocial, Amoral, Undemocratic and Anti-American.
