Noise pop

Noise pop is a genre of music that combines traditional pop melodies with the raw, distorted sounds of noise, such as static, feedback, or distortion effects. It often features catchy hooks and melodies layered with fuzzy guitars and unconventional production techniques, creating a blend of accessible songwriting and an experimental, textured sound. Originating in the 1980s, noise pop emphasizes aural edge and emotional expressiveness, making it appealing both as pop music and as a form of artistic sonic exploration. It bridges the gap between catchy pop and experimental noise, resulting in a distinctive, immersive listening experience.
