Tore said it well. There are rules that we have created by observing the way music works. Such as which notes and chords work best together, etc. They are more like guidelines, though. Just because there is a specific C major scale and there are specific notes and chords that go in that scale doesn't mean you can't go out of the scale and still find something that sounds good, I do it all the time. You have some experimental artists to break all rules and boundaries to make their music. I guess it depends on how you define music.
