Moreover...
Once a word becomes marketable, such as "emo" did, then original definitions become totally meaningless. Try explaining the story of Rites of Spring and Gravity Records to writers at Entertainment Weekly or people who work at ad agencies....FORGET IT!!! Same's happened with "punk" for the last few years.
Noise is still rather pure. No one above the exposure of Pitchforkmedia has stretched their reality open far enough to ponder the possibility of noise as music.
It seems certain people here at SYboard can't even ponder that either. What would Thurston say?
