Dad was a drummer, me too, and he had similar thoughts about sampling. I definitely *was* elitist about that, but having come to electronic music later than most, I ended up at "so long as it moves you". Which I am now having to refine to "as long as you were moved by intent"

It’s such a fuzzy concept. It’s a catch-all term we can use to speak with normal people about computer things.
