Especially one that is incredibly narrow-minded and refuses to acknowledge other schools of that.

Narrow minded is subjective. It is your opinion. I doubt you have any scientific evidence backing you up.

narrow-minded - definition of narrow-minded by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

I find someone who is unwilling to at least concede that, though they do not personally enjoy something, it may have merit anyway to be fairly narrow-minded, and you don't need a definition to see that.
Do you not agree?

I agree, but there are scientific ways of having a "bad" piece.

Oh God, here we go again...

Make sure you desperately grasp onto music being devine. I'm sorry, but it's not.

Pop music is the wrong term for it, because Mozart, Beethoven (etc.) are also "pop" artists.
There is "pop" music that is good, and there is pop music that is social interaction. One is music, one isn't.

I would say that it's still music, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it has musical substance. It has links with other types of music (I'm presuming we're talking about club-oriented music,) but certainly few people will obtain significant musical growth from listening to it or studying it.

No doubt it has connections with music. Humans have genetic connections with plums as well.

Geez, let's not retread that whole "music is physics" argument again.

How does something cease being music if it has a function in social interaction? I'd like to hear your definition of "music."

When music is appreciated for being music. Using it as social insurance is not appreciating the music, this reflects the music also.
