Noise rock is a post-punk genre which experiments with dissonance, atonality and feedback.
Noise rock bands can generaly be split into two groups:
The ones that just want to make noise (usualy pure white noise).
And the ones which think about the noise they make (music which uses avant garde "noisy" techniques to it's advantage).
The ones which just want to make noise tend to make noise which is 100% avant garde and does not use melody harmony, chord structures or any of the musical techniques which most people asociate with music. Instead they tend to overload their amplifiers as much as possible, to make feedback and scream over the top of it to make what most people would describe as pure white noise. An example of this kind of noise rock is the band Hijokaiden.
The ones which think about the noise they make tend to be more musical in their aproach, utilising techniques from heavy metal, punk, rock, math rock, post rock, kraut rock, phycedelia, computer game music and several other musical genres and combining them with the avant garde and noisy techniques of the former, to make a unique and intense music, which many have compared to Free Jazz. These bands include: Big black, Melt-Banana, The Boredoms, Merzbow, scratch acid, the jesus lizard, Lightening bolt and many more.
Noise rock is strongly linked to and inspired by other genres such as: No-wave, math rock, post rock, grindcore, Jazzcore and many more.
Noise rock and Noisecore are not clearly definable as different genres, rather just two ways of describing the same thing.
Japanese noise rock is sometimes refered to as Japanoise.

Well it’s back to breakin’ rocks for me, I’m goin’ back inside for my ninth - or is it my tenth? - term!

Get the breakin’ rocksmug. The kind of game that will make you say 'rocking' in front of everything...
Also, the kind of game that will keep you up all night trying to figure out why your team lost to a trash squad.
Rocking Soccer... The game for rocking laddies
*WARNING* Your friends may make fun of you, but you just gotta remember that people made fun of Jesus too.

Get the Rocking Soccermug. A music album that tells a story essentially. A rock opera will have many tracks on it, but they will all follow a storyline. Rock operas arent really "opera" music, but are generally rock. Just about anyone can like them, and the music is generally superb.
The first rock opera ever was Tommy, by The Who. Another great rock opera is The Wall, by Pink FLoyd.

Girl- "My nipples are as hard as a Jamaican Rock right now."

Get the Jamaican Rockmug. A term used to describe poor rock and roll music taste. Someone who is a fan of denny rock is generally a fan of shitty alternative bands such as Nickelback, Hinder and Default.
Matt: Hey dude do you think he would wanna go to the Foo Fighters concert with us?
Jim: Probably not man, that kid only listens to shitty ass denny rock.

Get the Denny Rockmug. Chicago slang for crack and heroin. In the vast open air drug market of the wild wild west side of Chicago, each set has their block that they sell rocks (crack cocaine) and blows ($10 bags of heroin). All it takes is being white and driving through the hood and you'll get solicited for drugs, cuz let's face it, they know what you're there for.
