Generally I noticed, that people mostly resort to the "that's not music" argument to denounce music they simply don't like. I think that's a strange way of thinking. You don't have to categorize things to not like them.
I think that's a really great way of putting music and personally is how I see music fitting into the scheme of art, I just wanted to where other people might put it.
