The name Sonic Youth comes from Fred “Sonic” Smith of the MC5 and reggae artist Big Youth—and those seemingly incongruous influences coalesced around a moniker that signified an undying effort to search for new sounds.

Wait, they made that up right? Funny thing. Anytime I mention sonic youth to my rastafari bredren and sistren, such as when by coincidence, and I say, "something something Sonic Youth," they always reply and nod and say, "Yeah man, I love them, saw them back in such and such.."
The thing is, THEY ARE ALWAYS THINKING I'M TALKING ABOUT BIG YOUTH
