What is music? Music is vocal and/or instrumental sounds that is created and combined harmoniously to bring forth an audible form of expression that invokes our emotion.
In nature, the chirping or tweeting of birds is soothing to the ears unlike the grunt of hippos or the howling of wolves. The former carries a pattern of sound that is discernible whereas the latter comes forth as mere noise bereft of design. That said, if the hippos or wolves could make their sounds with some coordination, we could well sit up and pin that as music.
Much like food, what is music may turn out to be 'junk' by the next person. Some may be into the sounds made by cicadas, waterfalls or rustling of leaves while others are sold out on pop (popular) music that is hogging the Billboard.
To each his or her own then. You decide what is your kind of music.
For today, please allow me to prod you with a revisit to classical music which may kinda remind you of when was the last time you visited a museum of sorts.

Mind you though, if pop music is likened to a yacht, then classical music is like an aircraft carrier with immensely more compact, layered, volume and richness of music. You might just be blown away and switch from beer to whiskey along similar vein.
