noise is... the sound of me burning this computer, in awe that i just wasted 30 minutes of my life reading this thread.
now my opinion (yay!)
i can absolutly say that there is good and bad noise, their has to be, because any wanker with a digitech can make noise so their must be some defining qualities to the more successfull noise makers. there certainly is noise that i dislike, merzbow has records that i think really suck and some that i think are awe inspiring which is also due to the magnitude of his catalog. merzbow also has been going for 25+ years, got alot of exposure in his early days by RRR, sonic youth, and many others.
i guess it may not be classified as good or bad, but as taste. this is the same for any type of music. people all togather are quick to jump to conclusions about peoples skill by how their music appeals to them, and their reading on the popular scale. merzbow defiantly has skill, but to me 3/4 of his records dont appeal to me. good charlotte have skill, they play their instruments better than some, not as well as others. personally they dont appeal to me at all, but they must have some skill.
i approch noise as any other genre, im a fan blues-rock but i prefer the black keys over the white stripes. there is something in the black keys i latch onto more, by these standards you guys would say the black keys are better, but i say they appeal to me and i like them more.
i really cringe at calling any genre of music art. by the book definition it may be, but its just blah

Point taken. But, I myself can't help but feel overwhelmed everytime I hear something like "Hidros 3", or "In The Fishtank". & to me, being overwhelmed is an example of art.
