At some point it ceases to become music.
people listen to it for enjoyment which is really the only proper way to define music. the melodies are simplified but the lyrics and the rhythm and cadence of the vocals are made more complex to counter-act that. if you want to try to claim its not music based on some technicality then feel free. watch the rest of us not give a **** about your technicality. if you want to say its not art and takes no talent then you should be able to do it yourself better than the best who have done it. otherwise you are just trying to tear down something you don't understand because it doesn't appeal to you.
