It is quite easy to distinguish what is art and what isn’t. If music is just random - a flow of notes and melodies with no aim but to express itself - it is music, not art. However, if it symbolizes a feeling, a real-world action, or a thing, person, animal, being then it is art - an artificial representation of reality, hence the name “art.” There is good and bad art, and, as you indicate, it is very subjective.After doing a few art history classes, I came to the conclusion that trying to draw a line between "art" and "not art" serves little purpose and usually ends up making the line-drawer look foolish later on. So I figure if you have at least one "musician" and at least one listener willing to call something music, then it's music, and I'm willing to be convinced on the necessity of a listener.
My bar is much higher for "good" or even "worthwhile" music.
