Its a bit like 'what is rock music', the answer being 'music that's considered to be in the rock idiom' - ie if people think it is, it is, hence music by Amazing Blondel, Planxty and Gryphon is in, but for instance music by Micheal Bolton, who made rockier music, isn't. Same with footy IMO, Bournemouth could become Champions League winners and they still wouldn't be a big club, SW, Sunderland and dare I say it Derby are no matter where they reside (so agreeing with rA)
