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. Most noise pop
bands owe a heavy debt to the influence of the Velvet
Underground, but the style truly began in the 1980s
underground scene: chief purveyors include The Jesus and
Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo,
and Dinosaur Jr. Noise pop bands are considered inspirations
for the
shoegazing scene of the late 80's and early 90's; in
fact, many shoegaze bands could be considered noise pop. The
genre continues to be a force in the
indie rock scene of today. Some more modern, but
lesser-known examples are
Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu and The Double, all of whom are popular with the
indie music website
Pitchfork Media.
