Noise rock developed from early avant-garde music, sound art,[1] and rock songs that featured extremely dissonant sounds and electronic feedback. The New York no wave scene, featuring such artists as Mars and Teenage Jesus and the Jerks in the late 1970s was an essential development in noise rock.[2] A number of noise rock bands emerged in North America in the 1980s. These included IAO Core, Caroliner, and Grotus (San Francisco), Big Black[1][3] (Chicago), Butthole Surfers,[1][3] The Jesus Lizard[3][4] Scratch Acid[5] (Texas), The Melvins[3][6] (Montesano, Washington), Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth,[1][7] Live Skull, Swans,[1][7] White Zombie,[1][7] The Thing, and Helmet[3][8] (New York), Pussy Galore[1] and Royal Trux[1] (Washington DC), among many others.

A similar scene also began to develop in Osaka, Japan, spearheaded by Hanatarash and the Boredoms,[7][9] The British shoegazing groups developed an entirely distinct form of noise rock, largely derived from the so-called noise pop related genre.[10] Some math rock groups like Don Caballero are also considered noise rock.[11] The '80s noise rock bands were significant influences on Nirvana[12] and Hole,[3][13] The powerviolence scene was close to noise rock, with Man Is the Bastard eventually dissolving into unstructured noise music.[14]

Beginning in the mid-90s, Providence became the center of a new crop of noise-rock bands, largely a product of the RISD scene.[7] After 2000, noise rock groups formed all over the world. The post 2000 noise rock often features tribal polyrhythmic drum patterns. Noise rock that came up past 2010 are Roomrunner, Dope Body, Nü Sensae, Sunn O))), METZ, Disappears, The Futurians, Thee Oh Sees, Cloud Nothings, Riggots, Thurston Moore's Chelsea Light Moving, GRIZZLOR, Dumb Numbers, Ultrabunny, Bass Drum of Death, Black Light Brigade as well as new Japanese acts such as Nisennenmondai.
