the.com/noise rock

means A genre of rock music that foregrounds distortion, dissonance, feedback and abrasive texture as the point, not the accident.

from 'Noise' traces back through Old French 'noise' (meaning quarrel, din, uproar) to Latin roots tangled up with 'nausea' — some etymologists link it to seasickness, the idea being that unpleasant sound makes you queasy like a rolling ship, though this connection is debated. 'Rock' comes from rock and roll, itself a mid-20th-century slang term for dancing and, before that, sex. The genre label 'noise rock' emerged later, in underground music scenes, simply smashing the two words together to name bands who'd rather scrape a guitar across an amp than tune it.
