i want to get into no wave, educate me on essential albums and the history of the movement
Some essential albums from the original movement
>Various Artists - No New York (duh)
>Contortions - Buy
>Suicide - Suicide
>DNA - DNA on DNA
>Glenn Branca - The Ascension
>Mars - 78+
Albums heavily influenced by No Wave
>Swans - Filth/Cop/Holy Money/Greed/
>Sonic Youth - s-t/Confusion is Sex/Bad Moon Rising/EVOL
first there was a band called suicide
this inspire them all
finally a group name mars or dna was loud and made music for trashcans now that everyone killed themself earlier
these garbage bins and lydia lunch who was eating in a garbage can when she hear the sounds become musically trained and try to do a song also
some were successful and became remembered as swans and glenn branca who made garbage for humans reciprocal
some were not successful and nobody knows what they were doing even now and those were referred to as james chance who married lydia even though she was a teenager and this is why she screams when she tries to make a song
eventually a little boy made of music and guitars and glenn branca sperm (he had a love for a guitar) was birthed into a trash can when his guitar mom was too pregnant for a good sound and was thrown away in there
the name of this boy was thurston moore and lee ranaldo it was actually two boys like siamese twins and they call themselves the sonic youths and the implement the no wave trashcan/human dynamic into emo music and that is how we arrived at grunge eventually

weren't they essentially making music at the same time and playing at the same clubs as these bands? I mean they are similar musically to Teenage Jesus and the Jerks

No wave was a movement, a scene. Not a genre of music. This is the reason swans isn't considered no wave. Swans and Sonic youth were formed a little after the emergence of the "classic" no wave groups. However both Micheal gira and Thurston Moore were involved in the scene by way of Glenn branca.
>>73383973
Their s/t EP is about as No Wave as it gets (same with Sonic Youth), though Swans' debut is garbage whereas Sonic Youth's is among the best releases No Wave actually produced
>>73385536
This is a terrible argument because then it would be the exact opposite, the reason they would be No Wave is because they were part of that scene, just not the initial wave, I mean Thurston Moore organized NoiseFest in 1981, that's about as No Wave as you can get
