You can, but you also open yourself up to criticism of your hypocrisy.
Right now, your cognitive dissonance is flaring up because you have to simultaneously criticize someone for contributing to a problem while contributing to it yourself.
I'm not even vegan, but I absolutely love watching meat-eaters squirm because it reinforces my notion that the average person is a complete idiot and should not be taken seriously.
There's so much proud ignorance in this world, it's great to always remind the average person how they're contributing to problems they don't even realize.
It's good to bring their hypocrisy to light, or else they will legitimately go through life thinking that there isn't a problem.
Schnauss doesn't rewrite the rules and has even gone on record as saying that the techniques used by classical composers for traditional instruments translate very well to making music with electronics. Instead of expecting something that tries to set itself apart as much as possible from what came before, I'm referring to artists that build upon the ideas of the past.
Another artist who you've probably never heard of that fits this bill is William Orbit. He's already bigger than Schnauss and way more recognized because of his collaborations. I guarantee if you haven't heard of him, you've heard a song he's collaborated on.
Listen to some of his solo stuff: Hello Waveforms, My Oracle Lives Uptown, Strange Cargo 5. He actually 'recently' released a new album called The Painter and I highly recommend it. It's the same concept as with Schnauss. They don't ignore what came before; they learn from and integrate it into something more.
I think the longevity of the Beatles compared to Elvis coincides with how much younger they are. Sure, they're not "that much younger," but the difference seems to linearly relate to their staying power; I'd expect the Beatles to be as relevant as Elvis is now in a few years.
That's not to say there's no chance for a brief resurgence of any of their music. Look at how fusion from the 80s made a comeback a few years ago. It didn't lead or change the direction music is going, but people could still find value in it after the "been there, done that" phase has passed.
Yeah, you're the one who's confused about the definition.
