ok, let's say it's not (which it was for it's time, not branca or chatham); but robert ashley? iannis xenakis? they did stuff that's harsh even today. it's been around since at the very least, the 60's.
even if you start counting with non, throbbing gristle, etc. it's been around for at least 30-odd years.
it's not a fad.
ps: i live in the city too, and i love being surrounded by city noises and i love listening to noises that are way more intense than everyday noise.
