Japanoise is the label applied to the prolific and
influential
noise music scene in
Japan, primarily in the 1980s and 1990s. As such it is a
portmanteau of the words "Japanese" & "noise".
The Japanoise scene was defined by a near-absolute sense of
musical freedom, and consequently was extremely diverse,
covering everything from the crazed
noise rock of
Boredoms to the totally unstructured and chaotic noise of
Merzbow and Incapacitants, although in recent years the term
has been applied mainly to the latter type of music.
Japanoise has been extremely influential in underground
music scenes worldwide, but especially in the United States, where it has spawned the closely related
(and overlapping)
harsh noise genre.
