I can't think of anything more useless than being in a noise cover band. Anyway, noise is oldies. in 1975 when I was a kid, they referred to the 50's music as oldies, and since noise has been around since at least the 70's, i would assert the same thing.
Noise is oldies music.
I don't think there can be as new radical form of music until we get new neural interfaces, a la John Shirley's 'bone music'.

Don't get me wong, and you may a well drop the antagonistic music forum attitude for the time being, but you seem to confuse noise with avant-garde. Personally, I don't perceive the two as being the same thing because noise as your sole style of choice gives you way too much of an opportunity to let things happen by chance outside of your own control, without much of a planned strategy or command on making a challenging point you can use over and over to prove how valid it is. Effective avant-garde forms of music are pre-meditated with the precision of a blood-thirsty army, and when noise is used, it's used as a tool, not a genre of music as such. I think Sonic Youth are the perfect example. To me they used the ''uneasy element'' in their music to filter uncommon ideas and ways of making music through fairly straightforward playing. That's quite the achievement, as far as I am concerned. And they aren't an avant-garde band
AT ALL.
