So I'm taking History of music this year and this was brought up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOtfyYDeFRk
We had to discuss if this was music or not, I'd like to know your opinion on it. |

| No mater what people say like "this is beautiful" or "this is amazing" we all know it's just ...not. there is a curtain point where something is just random stupid unput together sound... somethings like sounds of nature or even white noise can be considered cool or beautiful. But that was just plain stupid... It's not music...Look up the m eaning of music and use that in your answer |

Of course it is music. The real question is whether the plants are instruments, which I would say they are. They are just tools which humans exploit to create frequencies with different timbres.
also, "nature in harmony" is an oxymoron, haha |

Yes it's music, it was marketed, produced and sold as music, therefore it is.
And it is good. |

| And it's not a frequency a frequency is a sound that repeats or go's more than once in other words "a beat" frequent means repeat or to do often or to repeat this does not this is randomized sounds made. One thing that makes music cool is that the people who make it are talented ... anyone can do this he is in no way talented... |

"you can barely get by with saying it's music"

And it's not a frequency
everything that you hear is either one or more frequencies go back to kindergarten. |

"One thing that makes music cool is that the people who make it are talented "
LOL
I write music for piano and I'm starting to producer, as well as being a performer, but I wouldn't say I'm that talented. If a person can make credible music with unconventional tools, then he is a musician and that's that. |

| Oh if you want to get into the "what is consisted music" category don't even get me started I love dubstep and EDM I can understand screamo and stupid crap but everyone here knows that even though it (can) be considered music, it's not (as) good as the other billions of amazing songs we have the ability to create |

The whole point of experimental music is that people are experimenting. You have no idea what sort of things people can like. Believe it or not, dubstep was (and still is for the most part, excluding brostep) an experimental genre. |
