Noise

is an experimental music genre that emphasizes dissonance, distortion, and unconventional sound sources, often rejecting melody and rhythm. It incorporates feedback, static, and electronic manipulation to create chaotic and immersive sonic landscapes. Emerging from avant-garde traditions, noise challenges traditional music structures, pushing the boundaries of auditory experience. Key artists like Merzbow and Whitehouse have pioneered this genre, turning raw sound into an exploration of art and emotion.
