No, you don't, because that would be insane.
So, then, why is it okay to say that X isn't music?

You clearly dislike hip hop, which is fine, but that doesn't make it not music. That's delusional.

Also, you can get a lot more removed from what is traditionally considered music than hip hop.
That's a really good point you bring up. On the subject of what isn't or is music, would YOU consider this music?



People (frownland) consider it to be, but I will never understand why. I consider it art, but not music. But I'm curious as to what you have to say, since your a fairly new member, and you bring up some good points.
