i do think noise is a very purely understood genre (if it is, or branch of music perhaps) mostly by it's own creators. most people who are in noise bands don't listen to noise or if they do, it's just the big obvious names, how many of these people know of solmania? hell, how many have heard early throbbing gristle or early swans? even masonna hardly gets a mention. most people are like "merzbow, wolf eyes and..." sometimes hair police but mostly boredoms (the most cultured of the bunch mention hanatarsh), which leads to the boredoms not being noise artists but a chaotic rock band; sure, they can be taken as a stapping stone band to get into the really harsh stuff but the boredoms are not noise and yet they are the most mentioned "noise" band along with masami and w.e. and because people don't really listen to noise because it's easier and cheaper to make than to follow and support you get bands that are supposed to be "extreme" and crazy like 16 bitch pile up who are unimaginative, derivative and, the worst offense a noise artist can commit, bland.

whaaaat? man, youve gotta be on crack.
