I've sorta come around tbh. If music is an arbitrary concept that only exists in the human mind then whatever a human considers to be music is music. If some guy walks by a factory and the assembly line noise speaks to him and he pulls up a chair and just partakes in the noises, then that's music. Honestly though I'd say that John Cage's opinion of 4'33 being or not being music is irrelevant, since it's still not music to Chula, and just like music that you like isn't good, sound that you don't think is music isn't music. And, you know, vice versa. 4'33 isn't music to me, but whatevs.
