I guess that makes sense
but couldn't you have - often do have - cases where things become proper tunes despite and not because of the intent of their creators

I don't want to dig thru a bunch of YT playlists now
but I'm sure I could find plenty of examples of weird stuff disco and post-disco DJs repurposed as they created the concept of disco and later house
I guess you would still be talking about intent in that case, tho of the DJ rather than the original producer

I deleted that cos ya I'm not sure
it wasn't intended to be dance music, but it wasn't not intended to be dance music either

Kraftwerk is a great example actually

the issue with the determining factor being intent is that it focuses on the creator rather than the audience
undoubtedly the creator's intent is important to consider
but proper tunes are made by the audience. the massive.
proper tunes are - among other things - shared memories, nostalgia, shorthand for emotions, pivotal moments

there is no proper tune without an audience to make it a proper tune, feel?

whereas you can make all the avant whatever bullshit you want with no audience at all
in fact sometimes it probably helps establish the avant bonafides (if lots of and/or the wrong kind of people like this, how weird/good/etc can it be?)

like I said I don't wanna dig rn, I gotta go to sleep
but I am convinced they exist, if only as rule-proving exceptions
it does depend where you draw the boundary on proper tunes
for example "Marquee Moon"
I guess they weren't TRYING to make it unapproachable, that's just played guitars and wrote songs in a real fucking unusual way
but I heard that in a Starbucks the other day
"Autobahn" + that kinda thing, as mentioned w/Kraftwerk

yeah good one
especially if you count the Sueño Latino version, and Derrick May remix thereof

sure, definitely a proper tune
but it's basically an uncredited remix (nowadays we'd call it an edit, really) of something by Jean-Luc Ponty called "Computer Incantations for World Peace"
if you're talking, you know, ambitions
