That is probably true - these things are very relative to who you might ask or encounter. Nevertheless, I'd like to think that "noise pop/noise rock" is something more meaningful than writing a few very mediocre but always formulaic pop tracks and then just f
ucking up the settings on your mixer. I'd like to think an entirely separate genre term would exist in order to say a little bit more about stylistic considerations and defining characteristics than that. But then, I may be in the minority.
