I'm having a hard time believing anybody could go out to eat after seeing the always amazing Weedeater because of Dixie Daves on-stage "performance art"
I needed to reflect quietly over some coffee and carbs. It was unsettling.

Which is worse for the brain - years of low frequency disturbance, or equivalent years of coke and weed?
Oh, I know all about Sunn...say hello to my Teenage Wasteland rig...
...and my coffeehouse set-up...
I’m still spry.
My right ear was substantially impacted at a tender age by Iron Butterfly in their heyday; fast forward 30 years, and I’d have to say that My Bloody Valentine in a 2K theater was the most intense, but I was fine after about three days.
I had an ampeg fridge that I drove with an ampeg pre and power amp.
When I cranked it and stood like a foot away it could definitely make you feel strange and maybe even a little nauseated.

I work in industry. Hearing protection almost everyday.
I’ve been told loud noise raises blood pressure.
I would agree it’s not just bad for hearing.

Military research on concussion-related brain damage, as well as the more popularly known football/hockey/soccer head injury stuff is based on high speed transverse shock waves caused by sudden movement or shock waves. The brain has the consistency of pudding. It is susceptible to damage caused by the high shear forces during impacts or pressure/shock waves. These are mostly extremely low frequency, but high energy waves.
Sound, on the other hand, especially bass is in the 10's of Hz and higher. And the pressure from music is many order of magnitudes lower than explosions or impacts. So you are not likely to see any of the same type of brain damage from music.
Nerve damage and hearing damage are completely different beasts. There is research on long-term exposure to high intensity focused low frequency sound. There is even some evidence that this has been weaponized. Look up things like Cuban Embassy workers. Less is publicly known about this subject.

It was a load of nonsense and impossible to pull-off. An absurdist scenario that served a purpose and was quickly brushed under the carpet.
I am not big into conspiracies so I agree to a certain extent, but there is funded research on the subject.
