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.
Well this is pretty much what I was going to say. Music is music whether you like it or not. I've heard this same argument for pretty much every genre of music from rock n' roll, hiphop, to edm. Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it any less music...Just not your preference.
