Disregard any trends, cliches, do not fall into the trap of following other people's footsteps. Now I don't think that there's anything wrong with drawing inspiration or (re)using certain techniques. After all, it's quite hard (if not impossible) to come up with something entirely unique. With that in mind, try to recontextualize, never make music to please the scene bozos.
Do not rehash something that's been done a million times before, almost everyone does that.
If you like, say, breakcore - try to figure out a way to incorporate the core aspects of what you enjoy in that particular genre into your noise output.
If anyone says that it's too "constructed/composed", disregard and continue on.
In a nutshell, what I mean is, do what you feel best resonates with your own sense of what is good/right. Never cater to anyone.
