I have found that throughout my innumerable conversations on music that people's definition on the art form vary.
It can range anywhere from John Cage's idea that any sound or sounds (composed or not) could be considered music to those who are more specific by looking in detail at the compositional make-up of a piece of music.
Just the other day, I encountered someone saying that this video is not an example of music and that it is merely noise (noise actually being considered by some to be a genre of music):

The man playing is also the man in my avatar.
Anyways, what is your definition of music?
