Music is always art. Just because you don't like it or it's objectively shitty does not strip it of its status as art. Tyler Perry's films are still films, How I Met Your Mother is still a sitcom, Catcher In the Rye is still a novel, the sea of poetry written by angsty and vocabularyless teens is still poetry. Just because I think these things are worse than getting my eyes gouged out, they are all still art. To quote Duchamp, "art can be bad, good, or indifferent, but whatever adjective is used we must still call it art."

It only makes you look ignorant when you call a piece of art otherwise because you're not a fan of it.
