I mean, when your major genres are built on a foundation of music made by folks who often didn't have access to formal musical education, I kinda get it.

As an Elecki enjoyer I do see your point, though.

Edit: Will say I think you're being overbroad, but I'm pretty sure you have rock in mind, where there is a tradition of downplaying formal musical knowledge, which kinda makes sense considering where it comes from in the U.S.
