In YOUR Opinion, what constitutes music?

Do you have to have musical instruments? Is computerized/synthesized "music" literally music?
This has been a heated discussion among my friends and I. Some say forms like rap are more like performance art, while the other side considers music like art in that there is no specific definition.
Is a band member who is extremely computer saavy every bit the musician as a keyboardist or guitar player who grew up honing his/her craft by copying some rock god (Clapton?)?
Artists like Rick Wakeman, Todd Rundgren and Keith Emerson seem to thrive on both sides of the aisle.
Love to hear the board's opinions.

I'm not calling you a musician if you can't play an instrument.

noun
1. an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color.
Just because you don't enjoy it, or it's easier to make than another kind of music, doesn't mean it's not music. A group of people picking up trash cans and drumming on them is still music even if someone else is performing on a violin that they trained for 20 years to play. That includes vocals.
