Was Nirvana the closest we got to noise rock being mainstream?

nirvana was pretty shit
Nah, they're pretty good once you get over your teen backlash phase
Nah, that would be Sonic Youth's Dirty.
The only people who listens to them are teenagers, what are you trying to get?
t. teen
after nevermind they put out this album called in utero
what about it?
Evidently false.
I'm talking about the phase a lot of people go through in their late teens when they decide to hate everything they liked in their early teens and especially anything that seems to resonate with teens and have themes of teen angst or whatever. Adulthood is revisiting these and realising that some of it was actually good.

Wrong but ok.
In Utero is not that noisy. The only songs from it that come to mind as being somewhat noisy are Scentless Apprentice and Tourette's.
what about Blur?

also White Zombie's early EPs were noise rock, if that counts
You suck at listening. Serve the Servants, Frances Farmer, Milk It, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter and Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol all come pretty close to noise rock.
Nirvana's for pussies
close but no cigar.
now stop using your shitty as ears as objective ya bish
>close but no cigar
Why not?
>now stop using your shitty as ears as objective ya bish
Ah, ok. Let me just transcend the corporal realm, abandon contingency and fuse my being with the very essence of all that exists so I can objectively compare these sound waves with other sound waves associated with the arbitrary, manmade and subjective label of "noise rock".
Fuck sake, meant to quote
why don't you do that ya bish
>bonus tracks count
You're trying too hard.
Steve Albini's recordings got butchered so the album overall is not as noisy as it could have been.

Those are specific examples of noise rock compositions, not some kind of manifesto of the genre. Also some of those are even less noisy than the Nirvana songs I listed, so you're basically proving my point.
>the phase a lot of people go through in their late teens when they decide to hate everything they liked in their early teens and especially anything that seems to resonate with teens and have themes of teen angst or whatever
And then they realize the post-ironic shit they liked in their late teens was the real edgy stuff that will never be good.
ur gay
say dat to my face and not online n see what u get homies
> Also some of those are even less noisy than the Nirvana songs I listed
elaborate with examples
only two songs were changed
noise rock was pretty big in new york at one time and japan had a lot of noise rock bands back in the 70s and 80s
noise rock is also pretty popular in denmark and norway right now from what i understand
These kids are in their 20s now
I hope they stopped pretending to be niggers
