Noise Pop

A subgenre of alternative/indie rock, noise pop is just what it says — pop music wrapped in barbed-wire kisses of feedback, dissonance, and abrasion.

to be quite honest i think this is an absurd label. when i think of "noise" i think of whitehouse and such; just because a band has a little bit of distorted guitars they come down with the "noise" label? its like calling NIN funk rock.
