I believe I agree with the premise. I'm thinking of it in terms of the way it has revolutionized form, structure, etc., which I think equates with "composition."

Your exchange with inpulse mentions performance, and I would ask whether you think the DJ represents a correlating revolution in performance? Is it holding electronic music to a unnatural standard to expect that it should develop to be performed in a manner more consistent with that of previous era?
