Semantics again, but a conductor is more akin to a DJ manipulating an existing work, a producer is more like the guy who wrote the piece for the entire orchestra to play, and for the conductor to lead.
I completely agree with you though, calling some musicians and others not, when both produce structured noises that make people feel good at the end of it is indeed a retarded argument.
It's kind of semantic, but some artists are more aptly described as music producers, more akin to conductors of an orchestra.
I listen to mostly electronic shit, and love everyone who makes music. Do your thing. The debate over who is and isn't a musician is retarded tho.
Like, do I get music at the end? Yes? You're a music artist. Most would call that a musician.
