Black Noise

According to David Bowie in an interview with Dick Cavett:

"Black Noise is the register in which you can crack a city or people...it's a noise bomb."

Likely referring to the great protest culture that pervaded music during the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War. Probably wasn't talking about shitty punk garage bands screaming about getting stuck in traffic.

"This Black Noise is gonna be all over Detroit man, boys are gonna riot!"

"If you think a single song can fix unemployment, poverty, starvation, disease, prostitution, crime, and your mother's macaroni salad, be my guest bub."

noise band

Noun

A band whos "music" consists of making sounds or "noises" with unconventional objects. Though the noises are usually of little or no harmonic, rythmic or melodic quality whatsoever, the act of making sounds in a group is apparently enough to qualify the creators of the noise as a musical band.

I play the VCR in my noise band.

Nig Noise

Rap music with high levels of bass played at an absurdly high volume. It usually derives from a mid-1990's Cadillac with a poor quality sound system that can be heard rattling hundreds of feet away. It can also originate from a home, most of the time occurring at an unreasonable hour in the early A.M.

I was indulging in some Van Halen on my way to work when a Cadillac Seville pulls up next to me and drowns out the guitar solo from "Panama" with some deafening Nig Noise.

nigger noise

My grandmother and mother called rock and roll like the Beatles 'god damn nigger noise.'

I raised you to be a upstanding white man. Turn off that God Damn nigger noise and listen to some good music like Benin Goodman!

brown noise

Noise showing a random walk behavior, as in Brownian motion. It has a 1/f^2 frequency spectrum. It has nothing to do with crapping your pants. Try learning some physics....

You guys are retarded for thinking a brown noise can make you crap your pants.
