Music that uses talent. When nobodys writing lyrics for someone else, no constant reputation, and real instruments are used.

"Real" music is usually somewhat sophisticated.

real music includes anything that goes through what is called a pure process towards becoming music that sounds nice and does not bore the listner involves singing and not rapping.

Usually involves: guitar, bass, drums and SOMEONE THAT CAN SING

NEVER INVOLVES: someone rapping, someone screaming, a
music video endorsed by copious amounts of bling and women wearing nothing at all

Common genres of real music are: rock, punk rock, emo(although emo people suck emo music is good), alternative rock
'that rap music makes me feel like ill die of the embarassment that our society has stooped to the level of listening to this crap'

'I agree, lets go listen to some real music like green day or dashboard confessional, then the killers and franz ferdinand'

Is any music in general. Songs, rhythm, whistling, etc.

Anything can be music, only narrow-minded pricks claim one genre is "Real Music".
Random Youtube Prick:

Man this song is real music.

Another Youtuber: Really? Then the people from Ancient Greece didn't know s*** if this is what represents "art".

Real Music is music in general. It has no specific genre.

All music is real music and no one can say other wise unless they want to look like a dumbass.
Dalithews harassed the young girl for not listening to real music as she played Caravan Palace on her iPod. She smiled and said "Just because it's not an 80's rock ballad, doesn't mean it's not music. Get a life dumbass"

"Real Music" is the bullshit classification often applied to musical genres by people who's narrow minded opinion is apparently the only correct opinion. Often based solely on personal taste, the idea of "real music" is nothing more than masturbatory bullshit.
"Hey did you hear that new song that came out last week?"

"WHAT? YOU LISTEN TO THAT? I ONLY LISTEN TO REAL MUSIC"

*A term that teenagers throw out far too often, the first signs of music snobbery as it immediately entails Hip-hop/dance genres being classed as ''crap music''

**Music that has been played in reality & thus is real music rather than notes on sheets.
Teenager: God this generation sucks for music, i wish i was born in the 70s when they had brilliant rock music everywhere, it was all real music

Me: You are aware every generation has whats known as the ''20 year rule'' where the teenagers wish they were born 20 years ago? & that you'd hate the chart music back then as it consisted of Donny Osmond and other corporate made one hit wonders with the odd exception of good bands, just like today

Teenager: Nuh uh it was all stairway to heaven, & pink floyd & The Doors & ehh bach, really cool bands back in the 70s
