I'm sure that commenting on this will just cause you to dig your heels further in the sand, but just use a different word dude, or throw in a descriptor to clarify what you mean. For example "there's no melody" can easily be changed to "there's no coherent melody." If you were in a music class and threw out your little construct of melody on a test asking you to define it, you would get that question dead wrong. Since you're talking about music, it's probably a good idea to use musical terminology correctly as opposed to creating new definitions for them.

I'd say it's like Creationists saying evolution is "just a theory", without bothering to figure out what an actual scientific theory is. I don't think anyone would bat an eye if TH said Gorguts wasn't melodic, since that's a technically objective statement that people still treat as a subjective opinion, but saying that music doesn't have melody is claiming something objectively.
