Easy question... yes it is because of the banning of musical instruments except the daf/duff drum. It's clear today's pop or chart music is definitely haraam but I wasn't sure 100% of classical music like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart. I've also learned some Muslims say even the daf/duff drum is not permitted.

you will find this thread the most comprehensive study on music on this forum.
it is enough to come to the conclusion that music is haram in all forms.
it also deals with the weaker arguments of the proponents of music (some of whom can be found in this thread too).

some personal advice: i used to listen to classical (bach, mozart, chopin, beethoven etc etc) as well as other forms of music for years. i gave it up not because i read these fatawa but i realized it was 'bad' and that was it. now i see that it had absolutely no benefit and created only false emotions that took me away from practicing Islam as it should be. it is only recently that I saw the ruling of music being haram.

the argument against music can be upheld both using juristic rulings and using logic. unfortunately the proponents of music are mostly ill-mannered modernists and fatwa shoppers so it is useless to argue with them. so i suggest not get into any debate with them.
