Sonic Youth did not invent noise rock.

Don't let Lydia Lunch hear you say that.

I don't really see that personally. Thurston uses all kinds of wacked out tunings and dissonant chords that you cant play in standard tuning. All that tuning stuff was influenced heavily by Glenn Branca who he played with for a time . The difference according to people who understand this sort of thing more than me is Thurston is far wilder with his tunings than Glenn is. As a lyricist Id say that he's one of the most criminally underrated of his generation and thats because the music he makes is so radical. People simply don't pay attention to his words but if you listen to something like "Schizophrenia", thats lyrical genius right there. "Jesus had a twin who nothin' about sin", I mean c'mon, its pure poetry.

Kurt was a big fan of Sonic Youth but Nirvana were more or less a straight up rock band, albeit one with a strong punk aesthetic. Black Flag meets the Monkees. Lyrically Id say he was more influenced by Frank Black's nonsensical approach to writing where its disparate, unconnected images floating around that don't really add up to anything concrete.

He most definitely inspired Kurt but I don't think he influenced him.

If you watch the documentary "1991: The Year that Punk Broke" there are some hilarious moments with Sonic Youth and Nirvana (sometimes together) and some great performances. It's all over Youtube so should be easy to find.
