@TrevRockOne I think you probably know this, but I really don't give a damn about your split infinitive; I was being sarcastic. The meanings of words change with society. Yes, the original, strict, literal definition of "song" is something that is "sung" (which is why one is derived straight from the other). But in society the word "song" has come to mean "a musical composition of pretty much any sort," and it's far from the biggest of problems with the English language today.

@Caleb9849 Regardless of the relative merits of my sentence construction, the meaning of what I said was clear and unambiguous. When someone erroneously refers to an instrumental composition as a song, they are espousing an ignorance of the definition of everyday words -- clearly my peeve is a much more pressing matter.
And, I'm just curious, how would you have constructed my sentence to avoid the woeful split infinitive.

@TrevRockOne I would like people to avoid split infinitives (such as can be found in "learn how to properly use musical terminology") but it's very unlikely to happen.

This is music from a metal band

This is not a song, people: a song is a piece of music with singing. I would like people to learn how to properly use musical terminology.
