That's probably why it bugs me so much when people describe bands like Mars, Sonic Youth or DNA as "noise", when they're really just noise-y. The same people would probably have an aneurism if they ever actually heard real "noise."

Boredoms and Nurse with Wound are for the most part significantly less noisy most of the time than Mars or DNA. Boredoms and Nurse with Wound are both more psychedelic than anything.

Who the hell calls Sonic Youth noise? Aside from the Silver Sessions and a few tracks here and there (mostly collaborations) that's just ridiculous. Even Confusion is Sex is more rock than noise.
