What is music?

Music may be one of the most difficult things to define in this world.  It is known as one of the two languages that everyone in the world can understand (the other being math).  Music is defined in the dictionary as "vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion."

Now for a moment here, I'm going to forget about the last "producing" part and just focus on the definition.  Music, to many people, is just sound.  Sound or sounds fitted together to make something desirable to listen to.  To repeat and parody.

Maybe that's what you believe.  Maybe not.  What I'm getting at here is that music has no meaning to the current world we live in.
