I always viewed music as a kind of language. It has its basic rules of downbeats, its accents, and has a written and 'spoken' way to use it. And, it's also a lot easier to learn it while one begins learning it while they're young. Its alphabet and more complex rules are all under the category of Music Theory - every single note and all the different variations of every chord of every major (or minor).
There are hundreds of different genres of music, some of which I think are actually mocking music. Jazz... to me feels like a very loose kind of music, but I do consider it music because jazz still does have an overall rhythm to it. But I'm just curious of how the world must have viewed Jazz when it started.
Yet the funny thing is, one doesn't need to fully understand music in order to receive or get a message across. Music literally is the universal language. In its simplest form, I guess it's merely tuned sounds, yet people are touched by music, inspired by music, heartbroken because of music, etc... Words also have a way with music, but that's going into poetry which is a realm I don't really understand. However, I do praise marvelous lyricists either way because sometimes they're the ones that compose the most wonderful music.
