噪响流行Jangle Pop
Jangle Pop是80年代中期的一次美国后朋克音乐运动,它的主要标志是其音乐上回归于60年代的和谐吉他和流行旋律。R.E.M.的到来所激起的瞬间火花使得Jangle Pop也具有民谣摇滚的色彩,但是从根本上说它仍是一种基于流行乐的音乐类型。Jangle Pop不是主流音乐---乐队的歌词经常是故意地含糊其意、声响未经润色和具非职业性的特点,也就是说这种音乐具有do-it-yourself精神下的所有特点。
Jangle pop在1984至1987年间成为一支主要音乐力量-不仅是因为有着如R.E.M.和Let's Active这样的南方流行乐队、也不仅是因为有着西海岸颇具迷幻风格的Paisley Underground运动中的诸多乐队,而且还因为有着遍布中西部的大量乐队。80年代末,这种声音不再受到欢迎,主要也是因为人们听到了太多的没有各自特色的类似音乐。尽管R.E.M.努力过渡到主流-事实上,这支乐队成为了世界上最流行的乐队-其它很多的乐队(包括Uncle Green和Miracle Legion)在90年代早期如同人间蒸发般的消失解散。
Jangle Pop is a Rock music sub-genre with roots in the Post-Punk explosion of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Influenced by 1960s Folk Rock artists like The Byrds as well as the Power Pop of groups like Big Star, Jangle Pop is characterized for merging the sound of chiming, "jangly" guitars and Pop-oriented melodies with a somewhat rawer musical approach and production values. The genre found its greatest critical and mainstream popularity in the mid-1980s, with bands like The Smiths, R.E.M. and Felt.
The Californian Paisley Underground movement, which emerged during the mid-1980s, is considered a derivation of this style, while also incorporating Psychedelic Rock influences.
