Erm, the opposite of noise is not _more_ noise, its _no_ noise! hehe

Maybe we all start making classical music. Oh wait, thats been done already.
I see your hops of evolution, but there are also lots of other hops
going around.
Nice that you point out that new music is sometimes just old forms
forgotten. I can agree with that in a lot of ways. I also get the
feeling, and maybe you do as well, that when I hear "new" music and it
really moves me [the stuff you want to close your eyes to and life seeps
through your body] I don't get the feeling that this is something alien
= foreign; but rather that this always existed and is simply being
"remembered" - so in that sense, good new music is perhaps something new
to help me remember something too old to remember...
Hows that for a 8am-i-still-need-coffee-and-my-eyes-hurt email?
