Experimental rock
has long been a catchall phrase used to describe rock music that does not fit
into any other genre. Other genres that overlap 19419e45t somewhat are post rock, industrial, emo, and progressive rock. The form typically breaks
conventions and rules and redefining what is considered music. Proponents of
the form love the freedom to explore endless sonic possibilities and the
unpredictability and excitement that the genre presents.
Experimental rock artists such as Frank Zappa, Steve Vai,
and newer generations like the Butthole Surfers communicate ideas that
of pop music are incapable or unwilling to express. Sometimes these songs fall
far outside what the listener is used to hearing. For this reason listeners
usually love or hate experimental rock. These artists have no problem moving
beyond the confines of traditional rock, electronic music, jazz, and other
types of music blurring the lines between them and combining them with new and
innovative ideas. Sometimes they make sounds that fall extremely far outside
the known limits of music. Whether it's a wall of noise,
or a trickle of guitar experimental music encourages the listener to rethink
their preconceived ideas about what music can be. 
As with most genres the experimental elements of these musicians have been incorporated into the music of a new generation. Many find the genre to be one of the most exciting and free form of all the new music genres. Whether you love or hate it the influence of experimental music is alive and well in the music of today.
