I know.
See, those two parts of the sentence are mutually exclusive to me, at least if you insert "just" before noise. I used to think Slayer was just noise, but I've grown to see the melody in their music. I genuinely went in with as open a mind as I could with Cryptopsy, but the moment it began I was all "What the **** is this ****? This ain't music!" I don't consider EVERYTHING to be music. I guess it would be nice if I could, like you, but I can't. If I hear raindrops that's not music. It's a nice sound but it's just noise. Now I could play music against it and the raindrops might I don't know, counterpoint the underlying metaphor of the melody, or something, and make sense. But not on their own. Lots of noises are like this to me. The sound of a car on the road, the dog barking in next door's garden, someone coughing up their guts in the street ... these things are not, to me, music.
No it isn't. Not to me. The point you may be missing here (or not, maybe I'm misreading) is that not everyone sees the world as you do, and while you're perfectly entitled to hear music in every single sound you hear, I am just as entitled to say I don't. I don't think you're saying I'm not, but it feels a little preachy, which is I'm sure not how you intend it to come off.
Yeah that's pretty much it. I know it is
technically music, cos they're playing instruments (I assume) but it is not any music I recognise as such.
Oh crap! He's on to us!
