Also i noticed if you play anything from a underground band like Nightwish's back catalog or from Bullet for my Valentine on guitar or such. Then people start screaming and tell you to turn the amp down.

Tried some Sun Ra experimental stuff a few decades ago. Not my cup of tea. But Kronos Quartet I enjoyed.

Stravinsky was considered dissonant in his day. The Rite of Spring comes to mind.
