Noisecore is a fusion genre that merges hardcore punk and noise rock. Originally emerging in the mid-1980s, the genre is characterized by chaotic song structures, short track lengths, unintelligible lyrics, heavy guitar feedback and distortion, blast beats, noise-laden soundscapes, as well as a rejection of musical theory.
Notable acts include Melt-Banana, Gore Beyond Necropsy, Fat Day and the Gerogerigegege.
Characteristics
Noisecore is characterized by a rejection of conventional song structures such as verse and choruses, embodying a lo-fi aesthetic, accompanied by extremely fast and erratic drumming, often dominated by blast beats, alongside heavily distorted guitars, which incorporate feedback and noise.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
History
Noisecore emerged in the mid-1980s as a fringe development of the hardcore and early thrashcore scenes. Pioneers of noisecore include bands such as Meat Shits,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> who introduced growling and blast beats to the genre, Deche-Charge, and Seven Minutes of Nausea,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> who released Does Abstinence Kills in 1986 and later a split with Seth Putnam's Anal Cunt in 1989. Subsequently, Anal Cunt and Fear of God later pioneered, noisegrind, a more grindcore-oriented noisecore derivative genre.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=":0" />
Legacy
Noisecore has been influential to later experimental music scenes and movements, with the Guardian describing the work of Shayne Oliver, as "a mix of dark noisecore, grungy sounds, bolshie hip-hop and dancefloor-ready tracks".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> While underground and alternative music websites like Vice<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and Pitchfork<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> have used the term numerous times on several reviews and articles.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Additionally, before the term "mathcore" was coined, mainly in the 1990s, the style had been referred to as "chaotic hardcore" or "noisecore".<ref name="greenway22">Whitney Strub, "Behind the Key Club: An Interview with Mark "Barney" Greenway of Napalm Death ", PopMatters, May 11, 2006.
