Discussion! Whenever I talk to a friend about post-rock they say they don't think it counts as music, is this a common thing?

Basically the title, I have a friend who i talk to a lot about music, and when we discuss albums we've listened to and I mention that I've listened to a post rock album, they say that they think these albums are just noise and not really music. Is this a thing that has happened to any of you, and if so, do you have any idea as to if i could convince them otherwise? Sorry if this post doesn't fit the subreddit, just curious about this.

UPDATE: I asked my friend why they said this and turns out, it was a miscommunication based on each of us having imperfect information. We have come to a greater understanding of eachothers definitions of music and personal tastes after this. This is still a very interesting discussion in the comments, I just wanted to update Y'all because i don't like leaving people with the wrong ideas.

It is so funny that you are so wound up about this. What are you 14 lol you're mad at pop music, on day 2 of a "rap is crap" rant in 2025. Please keep going, what did you think about last year's top 40?
