"It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when the term “noise rock” was coined. It’s not a buzzy catchphrase like “shoegaze” or “krautrock.” It’s simply two ideas smashed together — noise and rock, the marriage of conventional rock structures and melodies with the techniques of experimental noise music. It’s arguably an oversimplified, generic way to describe a style of music, but after decades of eardrum trauma, notoriety and musical stunts, “noise rock” speaks volumes."
