I don't see how YLAOM and especially Bug aren't noise pop



They're noisy and distorted, but also light and catchy



Wikipedia: "Noise pop is a subgenre of alternative or indie rock that developed in the mid-1980s in the United Kingdom and United States. It is defined by its mixture of dissonant noise or feedback with the songcraft more often found in pop music."



Legit Bug in a nutshell (other than obviously "Don't")

Album Rating: 3.5

I think some of their work is considered it, I only really know Loveless though



Noise pop was an influence on shoegaze, so they're at least noise-pop adjacent

u should check more of their stuff, a lot of it is good

Didn't dig Loveless so idk there was this one song I heard from Isn't Anything that as pretty decent though

Noise pop is a music nerd term, never seen or heard of an actual musician who refers to their music as noise pop

>Didn't dig Loveless so idk

yea not all is the same

i wonder if ud like their early stuff more, no joke

its not bad like sputderp avgs would have u believe

I'm still confused by Zak's comment because I can't imagine Dinosaur Jr fans choosing violence based on a genre discussion, like what are they thrash metalheads?

yes

Ars, zak's comments don't really reflect reality so much as a general cluster of reactionary gen-x attitudes pasted together with various brit non-sequiturs, taking anything he says as a statement of fact is a rookie mistake

zak still successfully trolling many years later, love to see it

I love that people are making their own Zak shitposts in his stead.
