Well. I'm ready to undersign the subj. If anyone in the world sees it as
art - it is art. Nothing more, nothing less. I have friends who listen to
noise music made of field recording of the noise of the power lines in
Australia desert - they like it and discuss it a lot, desperately search for
new albums, etc. I consider it just an electric hum - they see it as music
i.e. art. So who's right? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Hence.
Music is in the ears of the listener.

I can't believe you said that. What's so bullshity about free expression? If
I as a subject person do not see any art in Picasso's works it does not mean
it isn't art. What about Malevich's "Black square"? It's just a black square
painted on the canvas and it is considered as highly intellectual art by
many. Who am I to say it's just a black square painted by some idiot?

Please be more cautious in your statements. I am familiar with noise music
and I like my friends who listen to it - I've grown with them and in their
cultural surroundings, yet I don't like it at all. I don't like most of
house music yet I've passed it through my brain already in the years passed
and I'm very secure with its culture - I'm trying my DJ abilities right
now.... Am I not "anyone" mentioned in your post or maybe noise and house do
not belong to "every" kind of music you mentioned?
