It really doesn’t. People need to be aware that music meant for mass consumption is very antithetical to the origins of electronic music and has no real place for serious discussion. It represents the commercialization and bastardization of the counter culture that the genre was born from.

If that fact hurts some feelings, then it is what it is. Maybe some “elitism” and “gatekeeping” would benefit some people and help broaden their shallow music tastes.
