Rainard you always post awesome thoughts, it's great!
Lets think about the word 'Rock' for a minute. What does it mean? What does it mean when people yell out "rock and roll"? How about "Rock on"? Or "This rocks!"? It's not defining an instrument is it, it's defining something else, something much less tangible.
Having thought about the origins of the word I think the best way to define rock is about the vibe and feeling of the music. It's about the rhythms and the layout of the piece. When you hear a rock song you aren't listening for a certain instrument, you're listening for that defining sound. Honestly it's a very cheesy definition from me, it's as controversial as when you try to judge the better band based on how much passion they put in, but it's right, no?
Define a "nice day"?
You can't strictly define that using real characteristics such as the sun is shining, it's just something as a person you come to understand the meaning of.
