Juno: "I bought another Sonic Youth album, THEY'RE NOTHING BUT NOISE!!!"

A band that is essentially famous for being absolute shit.
For some reason their fans adore them because of this.
Person A: Sonic Youth were part of the "American Underground" duh, they helped start alternative rock!
Person B: They sound like a dog molesting a cat in the anus.

A band which releases creepy sounding songs with little to zero melody, they're a decent band, nonetheless.
Ever listened to Bull In The Heather by Sonic Youth? The fact the song has little melody makes you feel fucked up in the head.
Good, somewhat overrated alternative band. Most people hear about the band before hearing any of their music. They're often talked about by music snobs or posers.
Sonic Youth influenced Nirvana and Kurt Cobain.

The ninth best band ever, after Radiohead, Modest Mouse, BjΓΆrk, The Flaming Lips, Pink Floyd, Beck, The Pixies, and The Smashing Pumpkins. Not as influential as The Pixies, but more talented, just not as fun to listen to.
Sonic Youth is a very kickass band.
