Generally I noticed, that people mostly resort to the "that's not music" argument to denounce music they simply don't like. I think that's a strange way of thinking. You don't have to categorize things to not like them.

That pretty much how I define music as well.
And I agree with you about people trying to invalidate music they don't like by saying it's not music. It's kind of a weird phenomenon, similar to the "that's not art" accusation. Strangely you never really hear people describe movies they don't like as not being movies or books they don't like as not being books.
