Difference in perceptions:

While, music originated millions of years ago and through ages it developed more and more, such that new genres and types of music were formed. Each genre or type holds a specific set of characteristics and properties to make it more recognizable for the listeners in general.  My perception about music is quite different, as music for me is not just the sounds produced from the different instruments or the singing of any lyrics in any form.But, music is a pattern or phenomenon found in each bit of life, for me any natural phenomenon which occurs in a pattern or more over inside an organized form of structures can be referred to as music.
