The best definition of "music" that I have found is: sound organized in time. That in no way implies that you have to like or even appreciate it. To branch out a little bit, an art professor once told a friend of mine that art is a conversation which you may or may not be a part of.

I could pontificate for hours on why they like listening to four letter word after four letter word with tons of shouting and very little (if any) melody, but that would just be my personal observations. It speaks to them, and they feel something when listening to it.

I once heard a 40 piece banjo band at a jazz festival. Hated it. It's still music, but I turned and walked away.
