noise rock band…. really?
also who gives a shit if they were nirvanas favorite band?
They were considered one of the better noise rock bands. Look up the term and history of it. Bands like them and Sonic Youth came out in a time choked with punk and punk influenced bands.
i hate the word “noise rock” its like a term music critics came up with because they were forced to listen and judge the music of bands like the melvins, the jesus lizard, and sonic youth. just call it rock and be done with it.
I don’t like the term Popcorn but I’m not about to say anymore on that topic. If you are going to challenge a label then have something more to offer than an opinion. It would be like me saying to you that a black metal band and britney spears should not be differentiated as they are both music.
popcorn? what are you talking about? id call black metal rock, and britanny spears as pop. what? you need more than that? okay how about progressive neo-psychadellic grindcore wave folk, is that specific enough?
You just said “I hate the term” and proceeded not give any reason for me not to categorize something for ease of reference. Yes a tool which humans have been using for thousands of years. But obviously you understand and are dodging the statement.
Now onto the next part. Black Metal being rock… well isn’t that specific. In other words you want to be the all defining overlord and if it is too specific by your measure you jump up and down but if its too vague you do the same.
Last point. I guess if you want to take it that far and need to discern it from others of a similar sound. Progressive, so it changes tempo, structure etc throughout the song. Neo-psychadelic, so it deals with surreal sounds not covered in the traditional psychedelic movement. Grindcore, so it is a melding of death metal and crust punk with overly distorted vocals with progressive elements. Wave, that covers pop rock from the late 70′s to 80s with punk ties. Folk, revival of pre 20th century.
Well this is actually the last point but anywho. You just mashed a heap of terms together to try and make me go “oh hey too specific”. What you just described seems to have too many elements all mashed together. It would end up sounding like a medley rather than a coherent piece of music. But like I said before I would only go that far if a situation arose where I needed to make such a label.
I could imagine if used “rock” as the all defining category you would quickly become disappointed.
your wikipedia skills impress me. i was making an exaggeration of the measures people make to label music, which is bullshit and a waste of time.
