Yep.
And most commercially-oriented music (for want of a better term) is
not many layered, and hence not art.
And one should never make the mistake of judging whether something is art or not on the basis of whether you like it or not.
Also, it's never helpful to put up difficult cases and ask "is THIS art??". The boundaries are so hard to draw, it's not worth trying. Much better to look at the cores - it's easier to distinguish things that are definitely art and other things that are definitely not.
