All this defining art and music and/or who is justified in their experimentation is ridiculous and tired.
I like whatever music talks to me. The CDs on my shelf range from Philip Glass to Bauhaus to Mozart to The Sex Pistols.
Being classically trained doesn't make you creative, and being creative doesn't make you skilled. What makes good music? I don't know. All I know is what I like, and that's all that matters.
Do yourself a favor and take an Art History course.
No, Seriously. I'm not slamming you. A lot of people share your view, and it's unfortunate. The course may or may not change your mind, and that's your prerogative. But, at least you'll know where the artists are coming from, and the mindset behind it all.
