Sonic Youthis an experimental rockgroup formed in New York City in 1981. They are generally seen as one of the leading innovators of contemporary rock music. In their early career Sonic Youth were associated with the no waveart and music scene in New York City, but have outlasted most associated bands. Initially inspired by the noise experimentationof Glenn Brancaand The Velvet Undergroundand the heavy garage rockof The Stooges, they are known for using a variety of unorthodox guitar tunings, and for applying screwdrivers, drumsticks or other preparations to guitars to alter the instruments timbre. Members of the band have released books of poetry and prose (a beatnik influence is evident in both their writing and lyrics), produced, written and performed in films (such as "1991: The Year Punk Broke", "Perfect Partner", "(this is known as) the blues scale" and "last days").

Confusion Is Next Lyrics
Sonic Youth
[thurston]
I maintain that
Chaos is the future
And beyond it is freedom
Confusion is next and next after that is the truth
You gotta cultivate what you need to need
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Stick your fingers
In your mouth
Squeeze your tongue
And wrench it out
From its ugly fucking cancer
Its ugly fucking cancer
Root
You gotta cultivate what you need to need
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Chaos is the future
And beyond it is freedom
Confusion is next and next after that is the truth
You gotta cultivate what you need to need
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Stick your fingers
In your mouth
Squeeze your tongue
And wrench it out
From its ugly fucking cancer
Its ugly fucking cancer
Root
You gotta cultivate what you need to need
Sonic tooth

Sonic tooth
Sonic tooth
Tell nothing but the truth
