Outsider Music?
Fair warning. This is not music that's pleasing to hear. It's discordant, atonal, and if you don't listen to the end I don't blame you.
The Shaggs have a known history and are willing to be interviewed. The Ticket, or more accurately Gordo, played them one day and I... couldn't really grasp how they could exist. Someone paid for that? Got a record made and they did shows?

I heard Rock n Roll McDonalds in the same way. Gordon Keith sharing it with unsuspecting listeners.
During his many tours and live appearances, Willis became "famous for greeting fans with a headbutt"; this left him with a distinctive permanent bruise on his forehead.[16]

He's from Houston. At least that's what is reported because nobody knows much of anything about him.

He doesn’t grant interviews, has never been professionally photographed, and refuses to communicate with the public. All this secrecy gives rise to fascinating theories: that the name of Jandek’s record label—Corwood Industries—somehow incorporates his real surname, that he’s a mental patient, that he works in a Houston record-pressing plant, that his father works in a record-pressing plant, that it’s all a practical joke.

There is a greater than zero chance that someone here has seen him. I don't know why I find wild ass music like this fascinating. It's not bad on purpose. It just is bad. Wesley Willis was beloved in Chicago. The Shaggs have, at least in the past, regrouped and performed publicly. But, Jandek remains a mystery. Is he even alive?
Stuff like this is compared to Ornette Coleman. But, he knew what he was doing.
Leo Ornstein also knew what he was doing. Even if it was pissing people off.
Wesley did not know. The Shaggs were doing what their dad told them to do.
Jandek. Well, I don't know. Is it all a bit? Does the creative urge run so strong that he has to get it out?
The world may never know.
