This is.
The music you can make with it is even better.

Though beauty is a very slippery concept to define, I realize what makes something beautiful to me.

Chaos
Discord
Controversy
Calamity
Contrast

What makes something beautiful to me is how it contrasts to what surrounds it. The wonderful stories and sense of community that arose during humanity's darkest hours. The stories of saints and paradise during the wicked oppression of the dark ages. The deep and disturbing works of macabre art, the bright and smooth blood on the rough and dark walls, the acts of intimacy between two souls in plight, and the light above alongside the darkness below. I give you an example of beautiful contrast, though you may be disturbed or openly disgusted:

The Macabre Waltz

This is my favorite work of art ever.

I loath monotony. Nothing to me is more disturbing than a predictable world.

Not only is it not actually advertising anything, it's just copy/pasting word salads about gold, runescape, oil, yuan, and handbags.  It's like a transporter accident combined all the spambots into one shambling mass of online sales.

It was kinda gross, yeah. Not sure I see much contrast between the obvious pain and the obvious blood, they seem in perfect accord.

Three things I think are beautiful:

A cool summer day, with grey skies above stretching for infinity.

Walking through a forest, or a field, during a full moon.

Seeing people do small, and overall insignificant, nice things for each other while receiving no benefit. Y'know, holding doors open or helping old ladies cross the street.

I'm only posting cars and instruments and things because saying "LOLZ HAWT WIMMINZ" is pretty predictable.

What is beautiful? I would have to say that honesty, loyalty, and love are the three things that make life worth living.

Well, I always wanted to know the meaning of life, wait, you people might say:
-Socks
-Magma
-When you wake up in the morning, consider murder.

And surely your heart swells with pride at the accomplishments of man, who, with naught but his flesh and sweat and blood, scraped forth a purchase on the land and bent it to his will, hammering it into the twisted steel you see stretched out before you, bellowing and resonating with the sound of Progress!

If not, then sir, you are no dwarf.

It's industry that brings us computers, the internet, and modern medicine, without any of which my life would be hell.

So, industry. Hell yes. It's a beautiful thing.

A great song, and I class it as beautiful when the audience starts singing, and sings the entire song on their own.

Otherwise, watching the sun rise up a fog-filled valley that runs east-west. You get to watch the fog light up in the most amazing colours.
