It's interesting, I started making music when I was 12, and the first music I made was just me making sounds with my mouth. That's how I discovered Merzbow, through mp3.com, as some of my mouth noises were really.. noisey. That's how I discovered noise music period! I had never heard anything like it and wasn't inspired by anything, I just did it naturally. Same goes for me screaming over video game sounds... at first, I just taped video game music off of my tv, sped it up in sound recorder, and screamed over it. I hate all that shit now, and these aren't good examples at all. But I'm willing to guess that lots of innovative recordings have been made exactly like that.
I have a cd by this guy named Neil Perry, and the entire record is him playing with a blender and yelling about his bathroom. It's unlike anything I've ever heard. Same goes for Human Lobster, which is just a guy screaming over pop songs. He just screams the words to pre-recorded songs in time with the pop songs.
So, yeah, if you look deep in the outsider music/experimental music/avant garde music underground, there's all kinds of shit unlike anything you'll ever hear. Maybe not GOOD shit, but...
As for popular music, "glitch" music was really the last big innovation I think.
