That's an easy question for me. I learned in university that music is simply organized sound. Good examples of this occurred in the Electronic Music course I took. "Dripsody"--various types of recordings of a dripping faucet pieced together.
A more "practical" definition for ME would be organized pitches in a piece that I enjoy. But, that is so subjective....When I was 22 and working as a security guard as a college job, being the Music Major, I was asked to mediate an ongoing discussion between fellow guards Barry (20) and Willie (46). One a fan of Chicago, the other of the Big Band era. I told them--well it's both music, based on the same diatonic scales we are all used to since equal temperament began with the well tempered clavier of Bach's time, centuries ago. They didn't like that.
We've long passed the time where we could for all intents compose anything we want, given the computer age. Think that happened around 1972.
What PLEASES me is obviously clarinet music, orchestral, band and jazz to a degree (I play "at" jazz). With pop music I liked most of the stuff of the 1980s, and of course DISCO (only thing I could dance to).
What I can't stand is Hip Hop and Rap. I need stuff that has actual nicely pitched notes and a nice melody as well as more then ONE chord (or even 2) throughout.
I'm not crazy about most other pop music past maybe 1987, but some of it does fit MY loose definition of music.
