-<fs xx-large>**Music**</fs> is an art style relying on sound to <del>interact with</del> communicate to the perceiver. It distinguishes itself from general //sounds// or //noise// through the use of rhythm, melody, harmony and occasionally complemented with lyrics/vocals, assuming one counts those as "music". The list of techniques used by artists throughout the times is endless and it would be pointless to list them all here, it should be said, though, that music is as diverse and multifaceted as any collection of languages. Where languages defined through //rules// create separation, music unites, as the rules of music and, fundamentally, sound waves are the same everywhere and cultural differences only dictate a person's perception.
-Ever since the dawn of humanity music will have been an invaluable part of the human experience, from serving as a part of one's culture and belonging, as a means of bringing people together, as a pastime or to experience emotions, both just out of the box or by the means of music in association with emotional experiences. The earliest humans, incapable of speaking languages, will still have listened to and engaged in the creation of music, whatever they may have come up with.
-In a way music is a language on its own, though organized much more loosely and based entirely on its human perception/interpretation. However, because music is based around our rather unpredictable interpretation of things, music has much fuzzier borders and rules which makes it easy to and encourages strong exploration and divergence. The same fuzziness is what makes it difficult for music to say things //explicitly// (unless literally saying "I love you" as part of the lyrics counts as "expressing a thing through music"), but makes it great for expressing concepts and especially emotions //in general//. There are so many ways in which to describe and express "love", generally, through music, whereas English only has the literal word "love" and then some descriptions trying really hard to not just say the word.

-For my perspective music is relevant because of emotions. Despite my limited grasp on emotions, music has been an essential avenue to experiencing and reliving emotions - it is able to take me to times and places most analogous mediums cannot and make me feel things, at all.
