"I know that sounds really cheesy, but it should unlistenable to the previous generation," he continues. "There should be someone saying, 'That's not music.' It's encouraging many older people feel that way about some rap and extreme electronic stuff. That's good. At the same time, it says nothing about the quality of the music. I change my mind about this all the time."

While i get his quality control part, I remember when you had the rise of all those pop punk bands in the early aughts how disturbed I was at how saccarine and Starbucks ready they are.

Its why I don't mind the current trap dudes even when I think they objectively suck; there's a long tradition of bucking tradition as music becomes generational and it only moves a genre forward (even if all the subsequent practitioners in said genre just learn what NOT to do)
