Parental Advisory

That sounds like because they are young, they automatically do lower quality work. I find that a bit drastic.
I totally agree with molossus in that there will always be good, mediocre and also bad representatives of any profession - regardless of age. Somehow the "older generation" seems to always have the impression that things have been better in their youth (which might, in fact only be a couple of years ago) and everything has gone downhill ever since. I somehow understand where this feeling is coming from, but I can not agree with it. Just as so many other things music always changes, produces new forms and patterns to express feelings. It would limit one's scope of experiences so drastically if one were to completely neglect any kind of music (or art in general) only because it is from a certain period or genre.
Therefore, I think it is not a good idea to look down on electronic music only because it is created in a less classic way. Obviously, it can be a machinised affair without much effort or emotion involved. But that is certainly true for some classic pieces as well (carelessly written for money and solely to suit the taste of the time). Electronic music can be just as exciting and emotional as any other genre. Because genre does not really matter. And at least with art age does not matter either.
