I would have said the same thing in 1950 and the same thing 100 years from now.

Dance music of any generation is never the music you'd judge a generation''s music by - 70's disco was awful as were dance bands/orchestras of earlier eras.
What do you think of rap as a music genre?
I'm middle aged and I feel similar to you but I remember my parents generation not considering most rock music as 'real music', they could enjoy only the new music that was similar to the music of their generation, and I'm no different, the only rap or electronic dance music I like share musical elements from the music of my youth.
Great music is timeless, no matter what era but then there's music that is only timeless for those of an age that it's nostalgic of their younger years. A lot of prog rock, this was the music that dominated during my adolescence, does sound dated to me now, it doesn't hold up well.
