im not too crazy about this pressure that if something isnt new than it isnt worth a damn. not everything has to be innovative to be good. sometimes people should focus a lot more of their efforts in doing something thats good rather than just something that is innovative.

First thing I did when I got a guitar was make noise/feedback. Remeber, Sonic Youth didn't use effect pedals until ...what.. like Goo or something, So keep that in mind.
You can always get a sampler, record shit, and mix it into one sprawling mess.

i also disagree with you. even if the music you are making is simple, you should still work for it. i dont think that the point of noise is to just make noise, but to rather achieve certain sounds that sound noisy, if that makes any sense.
i would say that getting to know your instrument and its capabilities is a good way to start rather than just bashing it. that is not to say that you should be technically good, but i do think that it is worth it to practice different things, get to know what creates certain sounds. for instance, that playing a minor second (or major seventh) or a tritone will give you the most dissonant sounds on guitar. or finding out where on your guitar the overtones are the most sustained and create feedback the quickest.
