Anything people do for creative or aesthetic purposes is art. Any other definition is arbitrarily narrow.
For example if you build a house just to keep the rain off your head, that itself is not art. But if you nail an extra board above the doorway, for no structural purpose but simply because it looks nice, then you've crated art.
Of course you art entitled to your opinion on whether any particular creation, or even whole medium is "good" art, but to claim it isn't art at all is silly.
I hate "art"?
