As a radical departure from the rest of Reed's catalog, Metal Machine Music is generally considered to be either a joke, a grudging fulfillment of a contractual obligation, or an early example of noise music. In the album's liner notes he claimed to have invented heavy metal music and asserted that Metal Machine Music was the ultimate conclusion of that genre. The album was a precursor to the development of the industrial music genre that emerged not long after its release. The transgressive nature of MMM's overall wall of sound, use of abrasive tones and structure and the underlying rejection of existing music industry norms all became characteristics of the industrial movement. As a result, the argument can be made that Lou Reed was a direct inspiration for three new genres - punk, heavy metal and industrial rock.
