my definition of music is whatever is beautiful to one's own ears.
If someone thinks a lawnmower sounds beautiful, that is music to them.
I think people need to realize that everything, whether you like it or not, is music.
Who's to say if something is good or not? All music is good as long as it is music to someone's ears.
Although personally i hate American sugar-teenybopper pop and country, but hey, it's music to some ppl and that's all that matters.

exactly - hence "that is music to my ears!" anything... to anyone is music. ofcourse more often than not it is organized sounds.. beats if you will. But hey..... to each his own.

The most genoiuguygouygougyiuogyeral all inclusive term that can categorize all music is organised sound. Lawnmowers sound is organised in some fashion. Even white noise is organised accornig to aydjfaoweoijtoijaoijgojargojaojrilk jasdlk al chaos theoruiujhkjkj. shut me. up.alk sd. So basically, yes I agree that the goat would make the better pet than the kitten because you can get free milk and it's the right size to make love to.

I hate people who only like one kind of music, I mean, I couldn't imagine myself only listening to one kind. I love all kinds of music. Indie has good tunes, rock has energy, electronica stimulates the mind, or whatever. Hip-hop is just nice (by the way, hip-hop is not the same thing as rap).
Ask any teenager in this fucking country what bands he/she likes and they'll always begin their reply with "nirvana, green day... er..." It's fucking true! ALWAYS!

It's unfortunate that your last statement is so true. The problem is that that aren't enough radio stations [in the US] that crank out 'other' genres besides the usual rock/rap/pop shit. Oh well, I guess that goes to say that the rest of society is missing out on some great stuff ~ sucks for them ;o)

i agree that music by definition is any sound or collaboration of sounds that pleases the ear. but i have absolutely no respect for anyone making music solely for the purpose of making money/becoming famous. 99% of the "artists" that are popular right now (that are at the top of the charts), are not artists at all. in my opinion, a true musician is one who expresses their emotion through the piecing together of various sounds in rythmic patterns. britney spears does not do this. she sings to a song that someone else writes, and dances around on stage in various costumes. she is an entertainer, not a musician. not an artist. an artist creates things not because they want the money or the fame, and not because they want the rush they get from entertaining, but because they HAVE to create things. they don't feel whole if they don't. they can't live without expressing themselves through their music. or as my cousin says, "i love it so much i can't not do it". there's a saying you might have heard before. *it's extremely difficult to be in a relationship with a musician, because you aren't the only one they are in love with. they are in love with you, and they are in love with their music.* a true artist does what they do because they are miserable otherwise. as an artist, i can't respect or admire anyone mimics artists or uses art to have that rush they get when onstage.

how can you say that about nirvana? if they were overated then no one would like them anymore. Atleast not the numbers they have listening to them still. I love Nirvana. I dont care what anyone says.. they still rock my world! The pixies were good too... not too good in my books though... Nirvana was greatly inspired by the pixies.

I think one's tastes in music has a lot to do with surroundings, peers and down the track the kinda memories you have associated with that phase of your life...some may find that statement a fallacy in the netquipped age but I think it has never been truer...one's not likely to persue and enjoy a style of music for long unless they've got a sounding board, used to be you had to run around, knock out and subdue somebody to discuss your favourite obscure band, then there were fanzines and now we have online communities, same thing, just the scale's gone all global like..now about the memories if you had a row and a breakup with a partner, and good forbid an aphex tune was playing in the background..It's pretty much guaranteed that 5 years down the track you will be hesitant about putting that album let alone that song..it's all IMHO ofcoarse

Reflex said: "how can you say that about nirvana? if they were overated then no one would like them anymore."
This is why I say they're overrated. If they WEREN'T overrated, they would just have stopped being popular before Kurt topped himself. They're just average. But of course everyone has their own opinion, and are entitled to like Nirvana, it just annoys me that these kids (some of whom weren't alive when Kurt Cobain killed himself) only like them because they're fucking told to like them. It's a trend, they don't listen to a range of music and decide what they like, they are just told Nirvana are good by their little mates, and accept that.

Geonime: so let me get this straigh here.... your saying that if someone told you that you should like a band or artists and you actually like them youd say "NO! GO AWAY I WONT LISTEN" and never listen to it? I liked Nirvana before he killed himself, ands it trivial anways. So what if someone liked them after he died? THEY LIKE THEM none theless, they can't help it and go back in the past and change what they used to like to what they do in the future. Smells Like Teen Spirit was the most popular song of the 1990's BEFORE and AFTER he died, Id like to think that, that is a great thing, an accomplishment, to wow the entire world with 1 song.
I dont really, care what anyone says. Dont go around quoting people its really annoying too, thanks.

Geonime: reading your post made me think, think that by saying what your saying there, makes you just as bad as the people your trying to defame. You may like a range of music, as iam sure you do. But so what? You can't generalize a whole group of people with one sentene!? Thats 100% wrong. You dont know what these people think, if anything youve met a lot of people who like them and are close minded, so what, ive met tons of people that like everything under the goddamn son and still are close minded pricks. That only listen to like 3 groups, or 3 artists or something. I can't believe youd go and say something such as you did there.... too bad really.

I disagree about the 'whatever's beautiful' statement, because I like some music that I don't think is at all beautiful. Some complex metal, for example, is interesting to me and I enjoy listening to it, but it has no effect on me emotionally. I think music should be defined as 'sounds that interest at least one person.'
