Ambient music? What is it? (techno, electronic, dance, trance)

I didn't think this was much of an issue but after having a converation with a bunch of people I found a bunch of very distinct viewpoints as to what ambient music was and some of which contradicted others.

What are your viewpoints as to what makes ambient music? Is it not isolated to electronical? is it the focal point on sounds rather then notes? Is is music with no distinct sounds? Anything that is background music?

Those were some of the examples I can recall people saying.
