Yes, I completely agree with you. People (ab)use the term 'art' to give their subjective opinion about a particular form of expression, stating that one form is art, while the other is not.
As you say, everything that ever evoked an emotion in anyone is art to me. This is almost everything, and hence the word kind of loses any meaning to me, so I just don't use it altogether. Or I try not to use it, but I find it very difficult.
For example, whenever I find something very, very beautiful/good, I tend to call it art, as if 'art' is a synonym for 'extremely good stuff'. It only proves how much we all associate the term art with superior quality products.
