Some groups are tied to song structures, such as Sonic Youth. Although they are not representative of the entire genre, they helped popularize noise rock among alternative rock audiences by incorporating melodies into their droning textures of sound, which set a template that numerous other groups followed. Other early noise rock bands were Big Black and Swans.
Characteristics
Noise rock fuses rock to noise, usually with recognizable "rock" instrumentation, but with greater use of distortion and electronic effects, varying degrees of atonality, improvisation, and white noise. One notable band of this genre is Sonic Youth who took inspiration from the no wave composers Glenn Branca and Rhys Chatham.[7] Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore has stated: "Noise has taken the place of punk rock. People who play noise have no real aspirations to being part of the mainstream culture. Punk has been co-opted, and this subterranean noise music and the avant-garde folk scene have replaced it."
History
The Velvet Underground have been credited with creating the first noise rock album in 1968.

Forerunners
While the music had been around for some time, the term "noise rock" was coined in the 1980s to describe an offshoot of punk groups with an increasingly abrasive approach. An archetypal album is the Velvet Underground's White Light/White Heat (1968). Treblezine's Joe Gross credits White Light/White Heat as the "cult classic" with being the first noise rock album, accordingly, "perhaps it’s an obvious starting point, but it’s also the starting point. Period."
Origins
Guitarist Steve Albini of noise rock band Big Black stated in 1984 in an article that "good noise is like orgasm". He commented: "Anybody can play notes. There's no trick. What is a trick and a good one is to make a guitar do things that don't sound like a guitar at all. The point here is stretching the boundaries." He said that Ron Ashton of the Stooges "made squealy death noise feedback" on "Iggy monstruous songs". Albini also mentioned John McKay of Siouxsie and the Banshees, saying: "The Scream, is notable for a couple of things: only now people are trying to copy it, and even now nobody understands how that guitar player got all that pointless noise to stick together as songs". Albini also said that Keith Levene of Public Image Ltd. had this "ability to make an excruciating noise come out of his guitar".
In an article about noise rock, Spin wrote that a US compilation album titled No New York released in 1978 on an independent label called "Antilles", was important as it documented the no wave New York scene. It featured several songs of Lydia Lunch's first band Teenage Jesus and the Jerks along with material of other groups such as Mars, DNA and The Contortions.
Music
In the 1980s, Big Black, Sonic Youth and Swans were the leading figures of noise rock. Sonic Youth were the first noise rock band to get signed by a major in 1990. Later notable bands of the noise scene were the Jesus Lizard, Liars and Unsane.
While noise rock has never had any mainstream popularity, the raw, distorted and feedback-intensive sound of some noise rock bands had an influence on grunge. Among them are Wisconsin's Killdozer, Chicago's Big Black, and most notably San Francisco's Flipper, a band known for its slowed-down and murky "noise punk". The Butthole Surfers' mix of punk, heavy metal and noise rock was a major influence, particularly on the early work of Soundgarden.
Starting in the 1990s, noise punk developed mostly as a form of party music, with the band Lightning Bolt serving as key players in the 2000s noise punk scene in Providence, Rhode Island.
Happier Than Ever
Billie Eilish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true
Give me a day or two
To think of something clever
To write myself a letter
To tell me what to do
Do you read my interviews?
Or do you skip my avenue?
When you said you were passin' through
Was I even on your way?
I knew when I asked you to
Be cool about what I was tellin' you
You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do
And I'd end up more afraid
Don't say it isn't fair
You clearly weren't aware
That you made me miserable
So if you really wanna know
When I'm away from you
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true
You call me again, drunk in your Benz
Drivin' home under the influence
You scared me to death but I'm wastin' my breath
'Cause you only listen to your fuckin' friends
I don't relate to you
I don't relate to you, no
'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty
You made me hate this city
And I don't talk shit about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad
'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything
And all that you did was make me fuckin' sad
So don't waste the time I don't have
And don't try to make me feel bad
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends
So I shut 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid
You ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood
Made all my moments your own
Just fuckin' leave me alone

Line by Line Meaning
When I'm away from you
Whenever I am not with you
I'm happier than ever
I feel much happier and better emotionally
Wish I could explain it better
I desire to clarify this feeling even more effectively
I wish it wasn't true
I hope this feeling was not real
Give me a day or two
Allow me some time to think about it
To think of something clever
To come up with a wise solution
To write myself a letter
To compose a letter for myself
To tell me what to do
To guide me with what to do
Do you read my interviews?
Do you bother reading my interviews?
Or do you skip my avenue?
Or do you avoid engaging with me at all?
When you said you were passin' through
When you claimed you were coming around
Was I even on your way?
Did you even consider me in your journey?
I knew when I asked you to
I was well aware when I requested you
Be cool about what I was tellin' you
To stay calm when I tried to explain to you
You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do
But instead, you did everything opposite of your promise
And I'd end up more afraid
And that makes me feel even more scared
Don't say it isn't fair
Do not claim that this is not justifiable
You clearly weren't aware
You were completely unaware
That you made me miserable
You caused me so much agony
So if you really wanna know
If you genuinely want to be informed
You call me again, drunk in your Benz
You phoned me while under the influence, driving your Mercedes Benz
Drivin' home under the influence
Driving while drunk or intoxicated
You scared me to death but I'm wastin' my breath
You terrified me, but it does not matter to you
'Cause you only listen to your fuckin' friends
Because you only take advice from your foolish friends
I don't relate to you
I don't associate with you
I don't relate to you, no
I don't relate to you at all
'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty
Because I won't treat myself as badly as you
You made me hate this city
You made me loathe living in this city
And I don't talk shit about you on the internet
I don't badmouth you on the web
Never told anyone anything bad
I have never portrayed you negatively to anyone
'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything
Because talking poorly of you is humiliating, and you were my everything
And all that you did was make me fuckin' sad
And all you did was fill me with suffering and misery
So don't waste the time I don't have
Please do not waste the time I don't possess
And don't try to make me feel bad
And please don't attempt to cause me to feel worse
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
I could tell you about every single time you managed to arrive on schedule
But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did
But I couldn't count any because you never arrived on time
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends
You never cared for or respected my mother or friends
So I shut 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid
So I avoided them all for you, as I was still a child
You ruined everything good
You destroyed everything that was positive between us
Always said you were misunderstood
You regularly blamed being misperceived for your behavior
Made all my moments your own
You took over all my experiences
Just fuckin' leave me alone
Please just leave me be
