Noisecore is a fusion genre that fuses hardcore punk and noise rock, characterized by chaotic song structures, heavy distortion, blast beats, and noise-laden soundscapes. It often rejects conventional song structures, musical theory, and lyricism.
Notable acts include Melt-Banana, Gore Beyond Necropsy, Fat Day and the Gerogerigegege.
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. [1] [2]
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, [3] who introduced growling and blast beats to the genre, Deche-Charge, and Seven Minutes of Nausea, [4] [5] 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. [6] [2]
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". [7] While underground and alternative music websites like Vice [8] [9] [10] and Pitchfork [11] [12] have used the term numerous times on several reviews and articles. [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]

"Noisecore is a term normally attributed to fast, aggressive, lo fi and often incomprehensibly noisy hardcore or grindcore with extremely short tracks."
