When you do take lo-fi to the extreme where the feedback and hissing become prominent elements of the music, that makes it indistinguishable from noise pop. You seem to have some sort of strange definition of noise rock which requires "atonal noise," which all noise is, even TNV's amp feedback, and free song structures, which I can assure you MBV does not have, and something that is certainly not present in most noise pop, which by definition mostly sticks to pop song structures.
This is not a recent development either, there are lots of bands that have taken lo-fi to an extreme who are considered noise rock. Take Electric Eels, Trumans Water, Velvet Underground, Destroy all Monsters, etc.
