the boredoms had definitely an impact on the scene (for once, they were one of the first bands to make an impact coming out of osaka instead of tokyo) and it's opening to the western world (bringing pussy galore, zorn and sy to play), but they themselves were already affected by many things that impacted japanese underground music.
les rallizes denudes, the free jazz scene, ybo2 and hijokaidan had a bigger impact as a whole.
still, polysics are more like a pop band, aren't they?
