I think this is because music is an art form, for me at least, and as such it becomes defined less by what it is than by what its audience/creator thinks it is, if that makes sense?

(Admittedly, I am of the opinion that I can put a can of soup in the middle of the road and call it an art installation. I may do that cheekily but there will be people who can derive from the piece some interpretation that moves them, one way or another. But just because I didn't mean anything by creating the piece does not mean it loses any sort of artistic significance, though, does it?)
