There's also lo-fi hip hop, where adding bad radio, tape or vinyl static to songs is basically a given (as the name kind of implies I guess).
I think it makes a kind of sense, in the same way white noise can be soothing

Anyway, taste aside I can appreciate this particular artist and their work, it's a lot of midrange noise but the musical elements (mostly percussion tbh) emerge from the swamp with a good listen.
60s-era blues is another good example. The recording equipment at the time certainly wasn't bad, but it was not yet perfected. It added a certain sound to recordings from the time that I kind of miss in later recordings.
I pointed out that sound to someone who thought it was part of the song and forever cursed them with also hearing them everywhere. It's like learning about kerning ...
