Get the Policore mug.Noise Rock is exactly what it sounds like. One or more guitars, bass and drums all combined to make pure noise.
A good example of noise is The Mung. They aren't very well known but my cousin and I know of them because they are from our hometown, which is Rome NY. Also from Rome are King Dump(hardcore), Reluctant Hero(pop punk), Breaking Over Nothing(rock, my cousin is in this band) and Day's End.

Get the Noise Rock mug.Watered down punk rock. It was started by CBGB bands Television, Talking Heads and Blondie. Although these bands were originally known as punk, they were renamed new wave because they didn't share punk's negative image and were more experimental. Eventually new wave evolved into a bunch of bullcrap like The Romantics.
"We're not a punk rock band, were a new wave band which means we're shit. ha ha ha!"

Get the Skatecore mug.Started by Ian Mackaye, the lead singer of Minor Threat. Edge kids wore X's on thier hands. The rules of Straight Edge was that you did not have one night stands, you did not drink any form of alcohol, you did not do drugs and you did not smoke. The earlier skinheads were mostly Straight Edge.
Minor Threat was a Straight Edge band. Ian Mackaye amazingly also had a strong part in the creation of emo, except in his time itwas called emocore.

Get the Edge mug.The older harder version of emo. Emocore was what emo was called in the mid '80s when it was first started. Rites Of Spring was the first emocore band, but not many people knew about them. One of the members of Rites Of Spring joined Fugazi when it first started. Ian Mackaye, who was also the inventor of Straight Edge, wanted to copy ROS's style, but make it more like hardcore so that more people agreed with it. After them came Jawbreaker, who widened emocore's by going more into modern and indie rock. Sunny Day Real Estate, who came out at around the same time as Jawbreaker, did the same.
Emocore bands are: Alexisonfire, Underoath, Saosin, A Static Lullaby, The Bled, Dead Poetic, From Autumn To Ashes, Engine Down, Thursday, Finch, Dismissed, Matchbook Romance, Earth Crisis, Snapcase and Boysetsfire.
