Finally updated: Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music
I think it's been a decade or two, but there's finally a new version out that doesn't require flash and has a tonne more samples that aren't at stream-on-dialup kbps quality:

Some genres are virtually unlistenable but you can still appreciate them on an artistic or technical level even if you don't like them a whole lot.
Not the case with Noise because Noise is not music. Noise is exactly what it is: Noise. It is the sonic equivalent of eating human hair dipped in vaseline, and just as enjoyable.
