That's a good question. For a period of time at the beginning of this century just about anything qualified as music. Meaning car horns, screeches, door bell ringing.
They called this Avant Garde. To me this is a step back for music even Plain Chant sounds better than this music--plant chant is Medieval music without melody purely harmony.
Now, I am glad music is moving back towards what it should be sounds of melody and harmony. I was even opposed to Jazz at one time until I heard some good Jazz such Miles Davis.
So for me, music has infinite possibilities which are limited by creativity. Nothing beats something that can make you dance, think and sing along in my opinion.
