There's plenty pf scorn on this forum for musics of ALL kinds...

Few would accept a techno gig or a rap one (what, these people got no right to dance, either? ) and many are pretty vocal about this or that genre's lack of any musical merit...

What did Russ do any different?

Oh, that's right. He criticized something you DO play....
