Yeah when I first got into then, about a year ago, when I was fourteen, (yeah I'm young...) I wasn't sure if I liked them or not because I thought they sounded weird. I didn't even like Kool Thing because I thought it sounded really odd. I discovered Sonic Youth because Kurt Cobain mentioned them as an inspiration in his diary but I was abit confused because it was the first time that I heard noise-rock and at first, I must say that I HATED Sonic Youth. But then, I listened to some of their most famous stuff on youtube (the most viewed videos are generally the most poppish songs) because I was drawn to Sonic Youth even though I hated them, it's hard to explain. So, I listened to Schizophrenia, Dirty Boots and Superstar and BOOM. I fell in love with this band.
