Noise pop
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Noise pop is a term used to loosely describe a number of alternative rock bands that fuse punk rock's attitude and anger with the atonal noise, feedback, and free song structures of noise music, presented in a decidedly pop context. Psychocandy by The Jesus and Mary Chain, released in 1985 (see 1985 in music), is often considered to be the album that defined and launched the genre.

The Velvet Underground were a major influence on the genre, with their experiments with feedback and distortion on their early albums. Early noise pop bands Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. combined rock/pop song structure with heavy distortion. The band most widely credited as being the first noise pop band was The Jesus and Mary Chain.
Noise pop and shoegazing are very closely related genres, many shoegazing artists can also be considered as noise pop. Noise pop was the chief inspiration for the shoegazing movement. Noise rock is a similar genre to noise pop, although it is more closely related to experimental music.
