Is there any genre of music (or a song) that eschews silence or rests within a piece?

+4

A friend and I were having a conversation about the similarity of music to speech, and the importance of phrasing with silence or resolution to allow reflection on what has been heard. Is there any form of music or examples of songs that explicitly remove the silence?

I'm not sure if there are better tags; feel free to edit.

The first thing that pops into mind is speedcore - but I'm not sure it quite fits.

Plenty of examples of where someone purposely meant to make an intense piece and therefore didn't include any breaks. Depends on what would count as a break I guess.
