Although, one thing I do prefer in my Noise is for the artists to make thier racket without any sort of pretense. Take Merzbow. Yeah, he's had some good records, but, there's just so much academia snobbery in his music, he's lacking that primal sleaze element that makes bands like the Velvets and the Stooges so damn eternal. Because of this, you'll rarely meet a big Noise fan who will say, "Merzbow is my favorite", for me, Merz is more a gateway artist than anything.
Then take Masonna. Though he is most oft-compared to Merzbow, Masonna is not content to sit behind a labtop and watch it makes loud noises. No way, he gets out on the floor, dances, hurts himself, and oozes rock n roll ferocity. His music is also exceptionally consistent, and is always ear seering loud and extreme.
Then of course there's Noise bands who rely more on shifting frequencies of sounds at atmosphere than pure aural chaos. I like those too. Like Filthy Turd and the 16 Bitch Pile Up LP.
