Synths, computers, loops, etc. are just tools that can either be used well or used poorly, depending on who is using them. They're not magic boxes that automatically produce great music. In the hands of capable composers and programmers, electronics are capable of producing some evocative sounds and soundscapes not possible with acoustic instruments.

I didn't grow up listening to a ton of 80s IR music, so I am still discovering a lot of those gems, but there are some 80s albums that I have recently heard for the first time and listened to over and over as if they were brand new albums. Perhaps I have the baggage of liking the overall 80s IR sound, even if don't have the baggage of those specific albums.
