agreed
I used to use 'electronic music' around here, until i found that most
people associate 'electronic music' with DJs. grrrr.....
  
now i tell them, the plebs, that I just make a bunch of noise with a
synthesizer.   tonight someone asked "oh, so you just hold down one
key?", to which i replied that I don't even play a keyboard.  "oh,
like Pink Floyd then?"
what?

so i think i'll just go with "musical terrorist"

or something

yeah i dunno.  

people who know what a modular synthesizer is I can actually talk to


all in all, yes, sometimes the noises we make stretch the definition
(or whatever) of music sometimes, but i think it's still music.
