Noise rock is a broadly defined musical genre that developed in the 1980s as an experimental outgrowth of punk rock. Fusing punk rock's attitude with the atonal noise and unconventional song structures of early industrial and noise music, the noise rock introduced a new kind of avant-garde music to the alternative rock landscape. The style is sometimes referred to as "noisecore", though this term can also refer to a variety of fast, distorted hardcore techno music and grindcore.

History

Some influences on the early breed of noise rockers were the stark rock and roll of The Velvet Underground (most notably their White Light/White Heat album), the bluster of the Stooges, San Francisco's Fifty Foot Hose, most expressive examples of krautrock (such bands as Faust), the chaotic free jazz and freak-rock released on the ESP Disk label, and Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music.

The 1980s saw a large amount of noise rock bands to emerge from different scenes in America, notably The Jesus Lizard and Big Black (Chicago), Butthole Surfers and Scratch Acid (Texas), Sonic Youth and The Swans (New York), among many others, including The Cows (Minneapolis), Flipper (San Francisco) and Dinosaur Jr (Massachusetts). Also of note during this era (particularly the early 1980s) is the emergence of No Wave from New York City, a backlash against the New Wave trend of the time.

Later, the sound became associated with Japanese artists such as Boredoms and Melt-Banana, who incorporated the influences from Japanese noise music even further, and occasionally adopted completely chaotic structures creating extremely short, fast "songs" which were marked by blasts of rhythm, screaming, and extremely overloaded guitars.

At around the same time, bands such as Gore Beyond Necropsy and Anal Cunt were developing a similar style which is also often referred to as noisecore or noisegrind. In many cases, although the backgrounds of the bands are different, the "art" influenced noise rock bands and grindcore bands have often collaborated on new music.
