Of course it is music. Even Techno is music despite the fact it typically does not contain live instrumentation, it still has rhythms, themes, lyrics etc.
Music is a form of entertainment.
Something as technical as Heavy Metal is definitely music, some of the best music is arguably made by Metal bands. Whether you like a genre or not does not make it 'Not Music'. Metal has some of the most technical time signatures in songs. Progressive rock/alternative bands are known for technical time signatures and crafting music that is not cliched.
Despite the simplicity of pop music, and the cheesy lyrics, it is still music.
If you are not well versed in the music scene, do not even discuss such things, it makes you looks silly. I do not mean to sound harsh, but seriously, your opinion does not determine what is and is not music. Music is music by the definition of being music, despite different tastes people may have. |
@bold. I think that's a rude things to say. People have their opinions, whether they play music or not, studied it or not.
That's what forums are for.
So if people look silly for stating their opinions, then so be it, but at least they said what they were thinking and if they are wrong, there's nothing wrong with that.

It is not an opinion to say something is not music, when in fact by definition it is music. To say that a movie is not a movie is wrong, plain and simple. Hiding behind the guise of "but it is just my/their opinion" is simply a way of using the term 'opinion' as a means to avoid admitting that one is wrong.
I apologise if I was rude, however, it is what it is. Having an 'opinion' does not stop you from being wrong. In fact in this case, the word 'opinion' is being misused. You can't look at a bike and say that in your opinion it is a car.
